In regards to the celebration of St Vitus day, Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Branimir Stojanović stated that the Serbs in Kosovo are on their own property, and that the constant opposition of radical Albanians is something with which they grew up and to which they are accustomed. One part of the Albanian public says that a monument to Prince Lazar is a project of the Association / Community of Serb Municipalities, calling it a chauvinistic organization. "People who said it are actually depicting their policies and targets. Their plan is that the Serbs leave these areas. There should be nothing controversial about setting the Serbian symbol, and opposing to it represents opposing to the Serbs," says Stojanović.

As he stated, St. Vitus day is part of our identity, adding that Serbs should remain in these areas, to develop and strengthen from the economic point of view, thus leaving better situation to the new generations.
