Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Djuric strongly condemned the attack on the young men in North Mitrovica.

Djuric said that the crime, that was carried out on a national basis, in a place that should be a symbol of peace and friendship, that should be "literally a bridge of reconciliation and unity, is disturbing and completely discourages."

Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Djuric has invited representatives of the competent authorities and the international community to urgently find and punish the perpetrators of the attack.

The Serbian government will do everything in its power to protect the state property in the Mt Brezovica ski resort in Kosovo, says the head of the government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Marko Djuric.

We maintain constant contact with representatives of the international community and potential investors, who have been made aware that Serbia is not in principle against investments, but that the issue of how Serbs will participate in each potential investment and how Serbia's property will be treated must be solved first, Djuric said on Tuesday.

Kosovo and Albania will never unite, Serbia's Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said on Tuesday in reaction to Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama's statement.

I promise (Albanian) Prime Minister Edi Rama that Kosovo and Albania will never unite in 'a classic way', as he put it. I am calling on Albanian leaders to stop causing instability in the region, Vucic posted on his Twitter account.

MITROVICA - Respect of the coalition agreement remains the only condition for return to Pristina institutions, representatives of the Serb community in the Kosovo government and parliament, said at the meeting with Director of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Marko Djuric.

Director of the Serbian government’s Office for Kosovo-Metohija (KiM) Marko Djuric said in Mitrovica on Thursday that Belgrade had implemented all points, from the 7th to the 15th, of the Brussels agreement on the normalization of relations with Pristina.

It now rests with Pristina to implement the first six points of this agreement, Djuric said at a meeting with representatives of local governments in northern Kosovo.

Director of the Serbian Government’s Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Đurić objected today to announced creation of army of Kosovo and downsizing of KFOR, and pointed that it would not serve the peace and stability, and protection of Serbs in the province.

The agreement signed last week in Brussels, according to which the Civil Protection in northern Kosovo will be dissolved till 1 September upset the Serbs north of the Ibar/Iber River. They are particularly concerned about the “mysterious atmosphere” related to the agreement between Belgrade and Pristina, bearing in mind that the Albanian side comes out with the official announcement, while Belgrade is silent.

The head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija, Marko Djuric, met with the diplomatic representatives of several Latin American countries in Serbia on Wednesday, briefing them on the course of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue and the situation in Kosovo.

Politically, establishment of the community of Serb municipalities in Kosovo is an obligation under the Brussels Agreement and it is advocated by Belgrade and the representatives of the Srpska list in the province, the head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija, Marko Djuric, said Wednesday.

The Brussels Agreement is not a "buffet" where everyone can take what suits them, Djuric said at a conference on respect of European human rights conventions in Kosovo, organised by the Strasbourg House of Justice.
