Although Slavko Simić talked to RTV KiM about the preservation of unity among Serbian political representatives, it seems the situation is further complicated. So currently is not even clear who is the president and who are members of the parliamentary group of the Serbian List in the Kosovo Parliament.
RTV KiM received a statement which says that the day before yesterday a meeting was held of the parliamentary group of the Serbian List with the participation of most delegates of the Serbian List and that it was agreed, due to the new circumstances within the Serbian lists, to retain the original nine deputies, to whom were given mandates by the Serbian community.
The statement said that the MPs agreed on exclusion of Nenad Rašić (President of the Progressive Democratic Party) and Adem Hoxha (a representative of the Gorani community in the parliament) from the caucus.
After this announcement, the media was addressed by the majority of the members of the Serbian List in the Kosovo Assembly, which yesterday decided to dismiss Slavko Simić from the position of the head of the parliamentary group and appoint to that function Saša Milosavljević.
This communique stated that “the decision was made by majority (or) 6 out of 11 MPs of the Serbian List, after Simić, with a small group of members of our parliamentary group, secretly negotiated with Kosovo Prime Minister Isa Mustafa on the dismissal of Ljubomir Marić”.
“The Serbian people in Kosovo and the Serbian List will never be held hostage by a small group of political adventurers and criminals from the Movement of Socialists. Simić and his followers have lost any moral right to represent themselves as members of the Serbian List, because by working against the interests of Serbia and the Serbian people they have become part of the Albanian lists. Simić and his followers as from today, even though they may not be aware, are only former politicians and part of one of the most shameful episodes in Serbian political history,” said the statement, signed by deputies Jelena Bontić, Jasmina Živković, Saša Milosavljević, Srđan Popović, Adem Hoxha and Nenad Rašić.
When we add to this the fact that the presidents of municipalities with Serbian majority brought the decision to cancel cooperation with newly appointed Minister for Local Government Mirjana Jevtić, and that she met yesterday with the Head of the EU Office in Kosovo Natalia Apostolova and the Head of EULEX in Kosovo Alexandra Papadopoulou, it is clear that currently is unknown who is in what place, not only on the list of the Serbian caucus.
RTV KiM therefore in its article asks someone who knows to tell in whose yard the ball is or at least to send a statement. Normally, if the ball and the yard still exist.
