The protection of returnees is a challenge for the Serbian representatives in the Kosovo government, who formed the inter-ministerial working group that should take care about the returnees. The favorable political climate is necessary for the safety of returnees, was indicated in the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija.
The impressive returnee settlement “Sunčana Dolina” (Sunny Valley), or as they call it – the first Serbian kibbutz in Kosovo – soon will be built at the foot of the ancient town of Zvečan. The preparation of the field is on-going.

Director of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Ðurić said that KFOR is the only legal armed force in the territory of Kosovo.

Director of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Ɖurić met today with Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations El-Ghassim Wane and introduced him with the process of the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina. "It is necessary to restore confidence in the dialogue, and it can be reached only through implementation of the agreement on the establishment of Association / Community of Serb Municipalities (A/CSM)," said Ɖurić.
Director of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Ɖurić said that he was concerned with the way people of Serbian nationality, who have valid passports of Serbia, are treated in the southern province. “No one can force the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija to accept the passports with the symbols of illegally proclaimed independence of Kosovo. We will solve the problem through administrative measures, or, preferably, through the Brussels dialogue,” said Ɖurić for TV "Pink".
It is "absurd and nonsensical" to talk about a demarcation between Serbia and Kosovo considering there is no border, "nor will there ever be one for us."

Belgrade is not interested in the decisions of the constitutional court in Pristina, or it oblige us, nor we are interested, told RTS the Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Djuric.

"We became united and rallied the Kosovo and Metohija Serbs together," Djuric said.
