“That will be the policy of non-recognition of the unilaterally proclaimed independence of Kosovo, and the policy of negotiating and agreeing on the normalization of life in Kosovo-Metohija,” Vulin told reporters after the signing of an agreement on the donation for building a department of the Musical High School in Kosovska Mitrovica.
He underlined that KiM will always be in the focus of the Serbian government, as has been the case so far, regardless of who will be responsible for the province in the next Serbian government.
Referring to the opposition of the Kosovo Ministry of Local Self-Government to the adoption of the Statute of a community of Serb municipalities in northern Kosovo, Vulin voiced confidence that the document will be adopted.
The text of the Statute will be discussed by representatives of local self-governments, he said, underscoring that they are not just puppets of Belgrade, Pristina and Brussels, but elected representatives of citizens in northern KiM.
“We have to get accustomed to the fact that northern Kosovo has legally and legitimately elected bodies, and that their word is respected,” the Serbian minister said.
Vulin noted that the drafting of the Statute is in his competence, and voiced confidence that an agreement would be reached regarding the best solutions for Serbs in KiM.
