Drecun on Kosovo: We need predictable partner on other side (RTS)

Serbian Assembly Committee for Kosovo and Metohija Chairperson, Milovan Drecun told RTS much would be decided on Washington-Paris-Berlin line, and Serbia needs to represent its interest there when it comes to Kosovo.

Speaking for RTS morning news edition, Drecun emphasized that a room missing to reach a compromise is being created now.

The proposal of the Statute of the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO) should be presented on the 4th of August in Brussels.

Drecun: It's good that a move was made from a ''dead-point'' (Danas)

It is good that a move was made from a ''dead-point'' because the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina in Brussels was brought into a "frozen state" due to Pristina's obstruction, Milovan Drecun, the chairman of the assembly committee for Kosovo and Metohija, told reporters in the Serbian parliament.

Serbian Assembly Committee for Kosovo and Metohija, Chair Milovan Drecun said Kosovo institutions still do not prosecute crimes against Serbs, Tanjug news agency reported.

Drecun added they protected neither Serb population nor their properties. He made these remarks commenting on a statement of EULEX head Alexandra Papadopoulos, who said, “that after 10 years the biggest success of the Mission is its departure from Kosovo,” and that Kosovo on its own can implement the laws and justice.

Drecun: Without progress in dialogue what's the point?

Milovan Drecun, Chairman of the Committee for Kosovo of the Assembly of Serbia, told regional broadcaster N1 that it was uncertain whether dialogue in Brussels would continue by the end of this month, but that the more important question is what will be discussed and whether a move will be made.

“Discharge” to KFOR would ablaze Kosovo (Vecernje Novosti)

Announced withdrawal of a military mission from Kosovo would destabilize the entire region and endanger survival of Serbs, Belgrade-based daily Vecernje Novosti writes today.
