Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Djuric told TV Pink on Sunday that October 6th elections are essential important for Serbs and important for preserving ‘’Serbia’s influence in the province’’ and called all the Serbs to use their voice and be united.
The leader of the Party of Freedom and Justice (SSP) Dragan Djilas told Belgrade based daily Danas that Serbia’s opposition serves “as ikebana” to the international community which, according to him, supports President Aleksandar Vucic who is expected to recognise the independence of Kosovo.
He said the people would “win the fight for their freedom themselves as many times in history and when we win, we’ll know we don't owe anything to anyone.”
The Head of Serbian diplomacy, Ivica Dacic, told Serbian public broadcaster RTS on Friday that this week he will say the name of the 15th country that withdrew the recognition of Kosovo.
Dacic said for RTS that in this moment less than 100 countries acknowledge ''the independence of so-called Kosovo''.
President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic to meet today political representatives of Serbs in Kosovo.
Gracanica Mayor Srdjan Popovic told RTS that the meeting will confirm the unity between the state top and the Serbian List.
Before the session of the Serbian parliament on Kosovo scheduled for Monday, Vucic will speak with the political representatives of the Serbs from Kosovo in the Palace Serbia.
“The international community has instrumentalized heralds in Kosovo who support Kosovo’s independence,” the Head of the Kosovo Office, Marko Djuric stated yesterday, expressing his disagreement with their actions and claiming that he is not jeopardizing anyone by saying it openly.
President Aleksandar Vucic says that the statement by Hashim Thaci that the dream of all Albanians is "a national unity with Albania" is an expression of a continuing policy. He points out that he is more interested in what and will anyone in the international community react to such statements.
"Serbia has become accustomed to the policy of the Albanians, and the world is silent about it," Vucic said in response to journalists' questions at the opening of the conference "Towards Safe Serbia".
The Serbian List MP Igor Simic says that the international community silence regarding the arrest of five Serbs in Gnjilane is causing uneasiness among the Serbs in Kosovo.
“The international community’s silence on such a brutal force is something that is causing uneasiness among the Serbs in Kosovo. It simply mustn’t happen, especially when we are in the negotiation phase,'' Simic told TV Prva, based in Belgrade.
"Nobody can justify this by individual incidents, it is a synchronized action, which should cause fear among the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, above all fear for the future. And a message is sent for the Serbs who want to return that their neighbours might wait for them with stones.''
