In the next few days I expect consultations with the Albanian political leaders, and after that we will make a decision whether or not to participate in the government of interim institutions in Kosovo, new Char of Srpska Lista and mayor of Mitrovica/Mitrovice North, Goran Rakic stated to Novosti daily.
Asked about specific conditions Srpska Lista might have to join the government, Rakic said he does not know yet which Albanian political option is the most acceptable to Srpska Lista, therefore it is difficult to tell if and to what extent Srpska Lista would take part in the government. “We won’t make hasty decisions, but have consultations and agreement with Belgrade,” Rakic went on saying.
Commenting on possible objects of eventual Albanian coalition partners related to the co-operation with Belgrade, Rakic said it is clear to everyone, survival of the Serbs in Kosovo would not have been possible with the support of the Serbian Government. Rakic sees no reason why this would bother Albanian politicians, in particular because there is a dialogue ongoing between Belgrade and Pristina at a higher political level.
Rakic also underlined primary aim of the Sprksa Lista and it is to protect interests of the Serb population and also others who for the last two decades felt as second class citizens. According to him, Sprska Lista proved it is the only political project that can gather Serb people in a struggle for their rights and freedoms.
