It must be ensured that Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija have sustainable prospects and a safe future, the chairman of the Serbian parliamentary committee on Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun, said on Thursday. Speaking to reporters in the Serbian parliament, Drecun said that normalisation of relations with Albanians living in Kosovo and Metohija is important in that process.
When asked to comment on the continuation of Serbia’s European path in the context of opening Chapter 35, Drecun said that there can be no talks about how much the fight for Kosovo and Metohija costs, but about “how much giving up on Kosovo and Metohija would cost us, and that would be unthinkable”, he said. A long-term agreement needs to be reached in the dialogue with ethnic Albanians on creating conditions for Kosovo Serbs to have sustainable prospects and a safe future, he said.
