Serbian Minister of Labour, Employment, Social Affairs and Veterans Aleksandar Vulin said that the Serbian IDPs did not return to Kosovo since the international community “has done nothing” so that could happen. “The government can be proud of its achievements, but cannot be satisfied because the Serbs could not return,” said Vulin.
Vulin said that first time this year, 17 March is officially marked at the level of the state and that this date has become “part of the official protocol,” adding that in Kosovska Mitrovica will be held ceremony.
Asked how 16th anniversary of the NATO bombing of Serbia will be marked, the minister said that on March 24, in front of the bombed building of the HQ of Serbian Army, the Prime Minister will address the citizens. “This is the best way to show that we remember and look ahead at the same time,” he said.
