The Office’s press statement further said that T.D, after Bogdan Mitrovic and Milanka Tercic, became “the latest victim of the system,” whose main task is to conduct an intimidation campaign against Serbs and create an environment of uncertainty.
Serbian Government Office for Kosovo in the strongest terms protested over the arrest of Red Cross officials and raid by the police into their premises, warning that “misuse of humanitarian issues for political purposes brings no good to anyone”.
The Office’s press statement further reads it is important to lower the tension in Kosovo, adding that “this shameful action is a part of clashes of the old and new political structures in Pristina and internal Albanian conflict, which is a consequence of a transition of authority in the provisional institutions of the self-governance”.
The Serbian Government Office for Kosovo Director, Marko Djuric said to the Kosovo Dialogue Minister Edita Tahiri “to stop the mantra on the necessity of Serbia to recognize unilaterally declared independence of Kosovo and Metohija, as it will never happen,” TV Most reported.
Djuric further said “it is an absurd that Mrs. Tahiri, who is known as one of the most extreme and the hardest among the politicians in Pristina, stigmatize anyone as a chauvinist, and if there is a state in the region whose political discourse is not based on chauvinistic ideas, then it is Serbia.”
Director of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo, Marko Djuric said that a blockade, of a positive social processes, goes in favour of those whose interest is to keep Kosovo as a long-term hostage in a frozen conflict, Sputnik reported today.
Director of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo, Marko Đurić had a meeting today in Belgrade with the representatives of the ten Serbian majority municipalities from Kosovo regarding the upcoming local elections in Kosovo and on “how significant it would be for the Srpska Lista to confirm and strengthen the political unity of Serbian people in those elections.”

An idea of President Vucic to open “an internal dialogue” on Kosovo is “a bizarre act” stated to Fonet, former President of Serbia, Boris Tadic, pointing out that one cannot call for a dialogue on important topics such as identity and integrity of a state, without establishing a dialogue on all other topics.
Tadic also reminded that a mere word “dialogue” means showing respect for different opinions, assessing Vucic “is a wrong man to put Kosovo topic forward, since he has no critical attitude toward himself.
