Marko Djuric said on Thursday that Kosovo will never be a state, nor will Presevo ever be a part of it.

The head of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija in this way reacted to a statement made earlier in the day by Kosovo Assembly President Kadri Veseli

"Let Kadri Veseli not rejoice because Kosovo and Metohija will never be a state, nor will Presevo, Medvedja, or Nis ever be a part of the so-called 'Republic of Kosovo'. But Pristina is and will remain a part of Serbia, and he will be a Serbian citizen," Djuric said in a written statement quoted by Beta agency.

Kosovo-based media said earlier on Thursday that Veseli "spoke for the first time about exchange of territory with Serbia."

He said that Pristina was "ready to take Presevo and Medvedja" - towns in central Serbia close to the administrative line with Kosovo that have ethnic Albanian communities - but that Pristina "has nothing to offer to Belgrade."
