Vice President of the Democratic Party of Serbia and former minister for Kosovo and Metohija Slobodan Samardzic assessed on Thursday that government of Serbia’s top officials Ivica Dacic and Aleksandar Vucic have ‘capitulated’ in negotiations over Kosovo judiciary in Brussels.
Samardzic said to Beta agency that Dacic and Vucic have accepted the ‘ultimatum’ of Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci that court in northern Kosovska Mitrovica should have jurisdiction over seven municipalities, instead of four with Serbian majority in northern Kosovo.
According to Samardzic another three municipalities will be joined to municipalities of Kosovska Mitrovica, Zvecan, Zubin Potok and Leposavic what implies that territory under jurisdiction will now have the Albanian majority and will influence the work and organization of the court for northern Kosovo.
“Before the departure to Brussels they (Dacic and Vucic) said that they provided for the court to reflect ethnic structure in northern Kosovo, that is, four municipalities with the Serbian majority, however we can see that they quickly gave up under pressure of Thaci and Ashton and accepted what Thaci insisted upon,” said Samardzic.
