Chairman of the Serbian National Assembly Committee for Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun told RTS the statute on the mining complex Trepca adopted by the Kosovo Assembly reflects that Pristina in addition to political, does legal violence too.
Drecun added Pristina for years is attempting to take away private properties belonging to the Serbs, and it is passing different laws, so the Serbs stand no chance to prove their ownership.
Over the last two decades a mechanism “as Americans say” was ruling in Pristina, however, it disappeared in the last two months, Nenad Rikalo told RTS.
He added, an environment “who would deceive whom” prevails in Pristina, with Haradinaj wining major popularity with the move on tariffs, while Thaci’s PDK leads politics to the certain extent harmonized with that of the USA.
Rikalo also underlined that the Serbs would fight with all political means at disposal to defend the interests of Brezovica, Trepca, Gazivode and the Serbs in enclaves.
