The Director of the Office for Kosovo at the Serbian Government, Marko Djuric, will visit today Leposavic with the permission of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo.

He will be visiting the flotation of Trepca combine in Leposavic.

 Bashmir Xhemaj, adviser to Minister Enver Hoxhaj, announced the news about the visit.

Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Đurić met with Peter Due Director for Asia, Middle East, Europe and Latin America in the Department of Peacekeeping Operations of the United Nations, and informed him about the dialogue and the latest moves of Pristina.

Đurić said that Belgrade wants stability in the Serb-Albanian relations, because, as he said, it is the only guarantee of long-term survival of the Serbian people in the province.

The rate of sustainable return of internally displaced persons to Kosovo-Metohija is the lowest among all post-conflict regions around the world, amounting to a mere 1.9 pct, the head of the government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Marko Djuric said Monday.

At a meeting with Nancy Izzo Jackson, Deputy Assistant Secretary in the US Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, Djuric expressed regret over a failure to include the return of IDPs in the agenda of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue in Brussels.

Marko Djuric says it is "impermissible" for Edita Tahiri's report on Brussels agreement implementation to be included in the Chapter 35 negotiating framework.

Tahiri is a minister in the Kosovo government, in charge of the ongoing Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, while the chapter in question, a part of Serbia's EU accession negotiations, relates to Kosovo.

President of the Committee for Kosovo and Metohija Milovan Drecun says that he would like today's discussion on Trepča to be based on facts.

The Committee will be addressed by Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Đurić, who will submit a report on the work of the office and inform the committee on the progress of the dialogue in Brussels.

The Serb representatives in the Kosovo government have informed the Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija of the reasons for freezing their participation in the government, inter-ministerial committees and other government bodies, and today's submission of the request to the constitutional court in Pristina for the assessment of the constitutionality of the law of Trepča.

Following unilateral acts by the Pristina authorities, the level of Belgrade's trust in Pristina and its capacity to negotiate in good faith is understandably lower, the head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Marko Djuric on Wednesday told Simona-Mirela Miculescu, the representative of the UN Secretary-General and head of the UN Office in Belgrade.

Djuric briefed Miculescu on Pristina's illegal attack on the Trepca mining complex and the steps Serbia would take to inform the UN of this.

Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Đurić will meet today in Belgrade with the Serb representatives in the Kosovo government.

As announced by the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Đurić will discuss with the Deputy Kosovo Prime Minister Branimir Stojanović, Minister for Local Government Ljubomir Marić and Minister for Communities and Returns Dalibor Jevtić.

Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Đurić said that in Serbia we have “political mediation” involved in a sensitive subject such as Trepča.

Đurić said so answering a question on what did the officials from Belgrade sign in Brussels on Trepča in the TV show “150 minutes” on TV Prva.

“We have a problem here. While the Albanians are unified in their striving to secede, and take our property, in Serbia we face some kind of political mediation on that issue”, said Đurić.

A difficult and serious ultimatum is set before Serbia when it comes to Kosovo; it is required to renounce the property of Telekom Serbia in the province, says the Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Đurić. He adds that Belgrade until Sunday has to make a decision whether to accept or not the "grotesque draft agreement on telecommunications."
