Marko Vulovic, manager of Gazivode lake does not exclude possibility Albanians might think to take over Gazivode by force, warning that this could have unprecedented consequences to the both sides.
He noted Gazivode management is in a permanent contact with the Serbian state, in order to make a preventive decision to stop “such mad ideas.”
“Of course, we are ready for the worst-case scenario, however, I sincerely hope it will not happen, and everything would be resolved in a normal manner, through negotiations,” Vulovic said, adding that it is in the interests of the both, Serbs and Albanians that hydro-power plant is functioning.
Commenting on the statement of Kosovo President Hashim Thaci “that Gazivode is Kosovo state resources.” Vulovic said that Serbian ownership over Gazivode is indisputable, emphasizing that everything there was constructed and financed by Serbia.
He recalled that a rather large loan was taken from the World Bank for this purpose, and that Serbia payed it back completely.
“Nothing there belongs to Pristina. It is up to the Serbian state to negotiate and protect property, that it constructed and financed,” Vulovic underlined.
