A memorial plaque placed on the spot from where journalists Djuro Slavuj and Ranko Perenic were abducted on 21 August 1998 was demolished and taken away for the seventh time in the last six years. Demolished plaque was found near the spot by President of Association of Journalists of Serbia in Kosovo, Budimir Nicic and Association of Journalists of Serbia Managing Board member Zivojin Rakocevic, Radio KIM reports.

“I am against that Serbs in Gracanica are eradicated, and the area to be populated by Albanians from the north of Kosovo or Presevo Valley. This is that fascist project Vucic, Thaci and Rama are embracing, Kosovo Assembly MP Ilir Deda said. Meanwhile, journalist Zivojin Rakocevic thinks that the dialogue is “stillborn.”

These remarks were made in a debate about Belgrade-Pristina dialogue held in Gracanica yesterday, RTV KIM reports.

Deda also criticized politics that Serbian and Kosovo presidents are leading, supported by the EU High Representative Federica Mogherini.

-During the last few decades, every warning sent at crucial moments by the Serbian Orthodox Church to the states of Yugoslavia and Serbia has proved to be true, and every time a disagreement between the church and the state occurred, the consequences were catastrophic, says Zivojin Rakocevic, novelist and journalist from Gracanica.

Assembly of Serbia adopted a proposal from Association of Journalists of Serbia (UNS) and the Independent Association of Journalists of Serbia (UNNS) to appoint Zivojin Rakocevic as a member of Anti-Corruption Agency Board, Serbian media reported.

With this decision, a place representing the journalists’ associations in the Board has been filled after more than five years.

The media recalled, UNS and NUNS proposed Zivojic Rakocevic to be a Board member for the third time in July last year, while the first attempt was made in August 2015.

A journalist from Kosovo, Zivojin Rakocevic thinks that the government of Ramush Haradinaj, “should have fallen down because of the murder of Oliver Ivanovic” or “at least to freeze its existence till the moment when it becomes known who have killed him,” Serbian media reported.
