The director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Ðurić said last night in Pristina, on the occasion of the two-year anniversary of broadcasting of the TV channel RTK2 in Serbian language, that it is very important for this service to function in the interests of Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija and to report on all endeavors and challenges faced.
“Pristina threatens with the lawsuit for genocide in order to divert attention from the establishment of the Special Court for terrorist KLA,” says the director of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Djuric. "One of the most bizarre ideas is that our southern province could sue our central authority for the crime of genocide. The people who promote that idea are unpunished actors of the war and are also part of the public life in Kosovo," said Djuric.
Director of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Djuric said that Pristina does not encourage the return of displaced persons and expressed hope that the entry into the function of Serbian judges and return of the usurped and destroyed property will create conditions for better return.
The Director of the Serbian Government’s Office for Kosovo and Metohija (Office for Kosovo) Marko Đurić said last night that someone who is a decision maker in Pristina, ‘in political, and maybe in personal capacity’, is afraid of creation of the special court, what is according to him the main reason for the lack of majority for passing the law on special court in the Kosovo parliament.
Reason behind the postponement of the Kosovo parliament’s session dedicated to the law on the special court is word ‘genocide’, which is included in the draft law on the special court upon the insistence of certain EU states, said advisor to the Minister of Justice in the Kosovo government Driton Lajci.
Kosovo has a bad experience with international courts, with UNMIK and EULEX judiciary and because of that it requested clarification about how will all cases be reviewed and how will they be processed eventually, said Lajci to TV Klan Kosovo.
Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Djuric said on Sunday in the RTS1 News in the evening that finally in Brussels, after a year and a half, will be discussed the Association/Community of Serbian municipalities.
Djuric said last night that the Serbian delegation will also include representatives of Serbs from Kosovo.
Speaking of the platform for Kosovo, written by Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic, Djuric stated that there were no discussions yet and added that he would let the President and the Prime Minister to inform the public about it.
Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Djuric said that in Brussels could be informally heard the request to include issue of the bridge over the Ibar/Iber River, as one of the future topics in the talks.
We have clearly sent a message that we are for further progress in the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina, and without the establishment of the Association/Community of Serbian municipalities (ZSO) progress is not possible, said Marko Djuric, Director of the Office of the Government of Serbia for Kosovo and Metohija.
Director of the Serbian government's Office for Kosovo-Metohija Marko Djuric said after the talks with Pristina's delegation in Brussels that no agreement on energy was reached, as Pristina refused to meet the obligations assumed earlier.
"Pristina did not accept for the community of Serb municipalities and the Electric Power Industry of Serbia to establish a new company that would deal with distribution of electricity in the north of Kosovo-Metohija and they bear the responsibility for not having much success today," he told the press in Brussels on Monday.
Director of the Serbian government's Office for Kosovo-Metohija (KiM) Marko Djuric will take part in talks on the issues related to the energy sector, as part of the Belgrade-Pristina technical dialogue, in Brussels on Monday.
The Djuric-led Belgrade delegation will include representatives of the Office for KiM and Minister of Energy and Mining Aleksandar Antic, the Office for KiM said.
