The director of the Serbian government’s Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Djuric, said today that the Serbian List represents unity between the Republic of Serbia and Serbian people in Kosovo. According to him “other (Serbian) lists in these elections would lead towards “breaking of this connections and towards the implementation of separatist politics.” “It is important to have a major voter turnout because that would guarantee the prevention of the formation of the so-called Kosovo Army, and only the Serbian List can achieve that,” he said.
Marko Djuric, Director of the Office for Kosovo at the Serbian Government, said that Brussels is losing authority over Pristina.
Djuric expressed fear that elections in Kosovo would not only mean waste of time for the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, but they also represent continuance of the political radicalization.
Office for Kosovo and Metohija Director Marko Djuric has said that representatives of the Serb (Srpska) List are returning to the Kosovo Assembly.
Djuric told Serbia's state broadcaster RTS that he respects their decision to "actively oppose the establishment of a Kosovo army, despite difficult political circumstances."
Marko Djuric, head of the Serbian Government’s Office for Kosovo, said today he respects the decision of the Serbian List to return to the Kosovo Assembly. “We know that Albanian representatives have their justifications for the anti-constitutional formation of the army. But this cannot happen, because Serb representatives are not returning to the Kosovo Assembly for the army.
On the eve of the anniversary of the start of mass riots in Kosovo targeting Serbs, Hashim Thaci claimed that he "felt ashamed" because of those events.
"Then, in 2004, what least should have happened, happened to Kosovo. Something happened that led to Kosovo embarrassing itself," said Thaci, who is now Kosovo's president, and added:
Kosovo’s Justice Minister, Dhurata Hoxha, said that the issue of properties in the territory of Kosovo will not be part of the Brussels dialogue with Serbia and that the decision to transfer former Yugoslav assets to Kosovo relevant institutions is the same with those of other federal units of the former Yugoslav republic. “We have full independence and sovereignty on assets in the territory of the Republic of Kosovo and we don’t need to discuss them with anyone. It is an issue that we as a state decide on our own,” Hoxha said.
Deputy Minister of the Local Government, Bajram Gecaj, took to Facebook to reply to the director of the Office for Kosovo at the Serbian government, Marko Djuric, who considered that the effort of Kosovo to create an army was dangerous.
The director of the so-called Office for Kosovo at the Government of Serbia, Marko Djuric, met today with the UNMIK Chief in Kosovo, Zahir Tanin, with whom he discussed the situation in Kosovo.
