Kosovo’s Minister for Dialogue, Edita Tahiri stayed at a hotel in Mitrovica North which was later attacked with a bomb. Sasa Dedovic, the owner of the hotel, told Blic: “She [Tahiri] came with an old car, accompanied by a man, and said she stopped to see the rooms where the Serb employees will be accommodated … I kindly asked her to leave because we could face problems and she quickly left. But before doing so she took pictures and said that the office of the Kosovo Government will be opened there.

Slavko Simic, head of the Serbian List parliamentary group, said in his address at the Kosovo Assembly today that Serb MPs will continue to oppose the law on the Trepca mining complex. “The Serbian List will continue to oppose this law because it was done without consultations with Serbs. We were not able to protect our interests. These laws are not good for the Serb community. We are here in the Assembly to protect our interests and only with work and honesty we can overcome the current problems and regain trust,” he said.

The Serbian List has returned to the Kosovo Assembly following a period of boycotting the institutions. A reporter for the news website, who is following the Assembly session today, confirmed that Sasa Milosavljevic, who was appointed as head of the Serbian List parliamentary group yesterday, and Slavko Simic, are attending the assembly session. The news website recalls that the Serbian List has boycotted the work of the Kosovo Assembly since October when the law on the Trepca mining complex was adopted.
