Announced visit of the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic to Kosovo and Metohija would be a marketing, that should show to the Serbs it is better to live in “Greater Albania” than in Serbia, member of the Serb Fatherland Movement Marko Jaksic told Danas daily.
"Many know who is behind the murder of Oliver Ivanovic, but it is a political trade. Everyone is silent. Many behave as if nothing has happened. Nobody wants the murderer to be found because there would be a lot of dirty laundry.“
These were the comments of the previously most influential leader of Serbs from North Kosovo, Marko Jaksic, a leader of Serb European Movement and a Professor at the Faculty of Medicine in North Mitrovica, Rada Trajkovic, and journalist and author of „Slobodno srpski“, Budimir Nicic, regarding the murder of Oliver Ivanovic.
Leader of Serb European Movement and a former member of the Kosovo Assembly, Rada Trajkovic said last night in Kraljevo not a single murder in the north of Kosovo has been resolved and that the north of Kosovo is run by the mafia, Blic daily reported.
Trajkovic added that following the murder of Oliver Ivanovic, many Serbs feel safer in Pristina than in northern Kosovo.
Trajkovic made these remarks in a debate held in Kraljevo and dedicated to Oliver Ivanovic, his murder, motives for it and the course of the investigation.
Marko Jaksic, member of the Serb “Fatherland” Movement from Kosovo told Danas daily Serbs from Kosovo do not know what a plan for Kosovo would contain, but they can sense what it could take from secret visits of the Serbian President to Paris and meeting with Hashim Thaci, as well as from his current stay in New York.
Citizens of Serbia to declare on Kosovo in a referendum might be the right solution if it takes place under fair conditions, says Marko Jaksic for RTV KiM, a member of the Presidency of the Movement of Serbs from Kosovo "Fatherland".
Jaksic thinks it's time for the Serbs to say whether they prefer the EU or to preserve Kosovo in Serbia. He notes that he personally opposes any division of Kosovo.
Independent MP in the Serbian Assembly Slavisa Ristic said that he was not invited to a meeting with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic in the northern part of Mitrovica, reported on Saturday KIM radio.
Ristic, who is also the former Mayor of Zubin Potok, said he believed that, unlike Kosovo deputies from the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) in the Serbian Assembly, he was not invited because "there were not supposed to be people who tell the truth about what is happening in the north of Kosovo ".

Leader of the Dveri Movement, Bosko Obradovic, while presenting the conclusions of the roundtable on the current situation in Kosovo, said he will launch an initiative to establish a working group to prepare acts and documents for the defence of Kosovo and Metohija within the state of Serbia.
