Kosovo Serbs to Quit Pristina Govt After Deportation (Balkan Insight)
After Kosovo controversially deported a Serbian official, Kosovo Serb politicians said they will quit the Kosovo government and unilaterally set up an Association of Serbian Municipalities without Pristina’s involvement.
Goran Rakic, the president of the main Kosovo Serb party, Srpska Lista, said on Tuesday that an Association of Serbian Municipalities will be set up independently from Pristina and that the party will leave the Kosovo government.
“We informed President Aleksandar Vucic of this, and he said we have his support,” Rakic said after meeting Vucic in Belgrade, adding that the Association will be formed on April 20.
The decisions came in response to Monday’s arrest and deportation of the director of the Serbian government’s office for Kosovo, Marko Djuric.
