Advisor to the Prime Minister of Kosovo Bajram Gecaj says that the Kosovo Government is ready to start with drafting the Statute of the Community/Association of Serb Municipalities (ZSO) as soon as the Serbian List "fully returns to the Kosovo institutions".

Deputy Minister for Local Government Bajram Gecaj told RTK2 that Mirjana Jevtić continues to be the Head of the Ministry of Local Self-Government of Kosovo.

"There is a decision of the Prime Minister, Isa Mustafa, on the appointment of Minister Jevtić, but not the decision on dismissal," said the deputy minister.

He also says that as long as the boycott of Serb representatives lasts, the Community/Associations of Serb municipalities cannot be discussed.

Kosovo's newly appointed Minister for Local Government and Administration Mirjana Jevtić  invited tonight mayors of all the municipalities with Serbian majority in Kosovo to a meeting, reported RTV KiM.

She stressed that she was appointed "in the interest of citizens." But she did not want to comment the current situation in the local Serbian political scene.

Representatives of ten predominantly Serb municipalities decided in Zvecan today not to recognise the newly appointed Mirjana Jevtic as Minister of Local Government and Administration ruling out any type of cooperation with her. In a meeting, the mayors of Zvecan, Mitrovica North, Zubin Potok, Gracanica, Partes, Ranilug, Klokot, Partes and Novoberdo unanimously decided to cut off any contact with members of the Socialist Party which they blame for causing rift among Kosovo Serbs.

Minister of Local Government Administration Mirjana Jevtić has began with her work, announced the ministry.

Mirjana Jevtić was appointed the Minister of Local Government after Prime Minister Isa Mustafa, few days ago, released Ljubomir Marić.

Despite the disapproval of a part of the representatives of the Serbian List and the Head of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Đurić, the Independant Liberal Party has welcomed the decision of Mustafa.

The MPs of the Serbian List wanted to entrust a mandate to Mirjana Jevtić because they wanted a women from the Serbian community to be at the forefront of the ministry with a capacity, said Slavko Simić in a written statement.

"Mr Marić was before his dismissal, as Mr Mustafa said, due to poor coordination and cooperation of his ministry with local governments in Kosovo," said President of the Serbian List Slavko Simić in a written statement to the media.

Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija urges political representatives of the Serbs to revoke the decision, who on behalf of the Serbian nation have participated together with Thaçi and Mustafa in dismissal of the legitimate Serbian representative because of very little authority and at a time when the Serbian ministers and officials froze their participation in provincial institutions.

Đurić said this to Večernje Novosti daily on Sunday.
