In 1999, Božidar Šarković from Klina expected the worst of the NATO soldiers who following the signing of the Kumanovo Agreement marched into Kosovo and Metohija. KFOR soldiers didn’t move a finger when Albanians killed Serbs and burned their houses, he said. Šarković, who returned to Metohija in 2009, still has reservations about the KFOR, but he admits that the military mission is important for the survival of Serbs in Kosovo, because it protects not only houses, but also churches and monasteries.

The Chairperson of the Serbian Parliament Committee on Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun, stated yesterday on the occasion of the eight anniversary of the unilateral declaration of independence of Kosovo, that Kosovo is a failed experiment by mainly Western states and the black hole of Europe when it comes to respect of human rights and rights of minority communities.

President of the Serbian Parliamentary Committee for Kosovo Milovan Drecun said that the question arises what the Special Court, before which members of the KLA will be tried, will do about Hashim Thaci, considering the new information of his involvement in organ trafficking. Media reports that the Nigerian Medical Association accused Rochas Okorocha, a billionaire and governor of Imo State of organizing a human organ trafficking network in Nigeria in collaboration with the former Prime Minister of Kosovo.

The incident in the vicinity of Visoki Decani Monastery has shown that people who were there at the time were undoubtedly faced with danger and a terrorist threat, no matter how the case was described by the Kosovo Police, declared Chairperson of the Serbian Parliament’s Committee for Kosovo and Metohija Milovan Drecun, today.

The chairperson of the Serbian Assembly for Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun, stated today that the incident in the vicinity of Visoki Decani monastery shows that a strong base of radical Islam has been established in the region and the State will do everything it can to prevent any terrorist acts.

“Serbia expects that Brussels press Pristina over the formation of Association / Community of Serb municipalities (A/CSM) in the southern province. The Kosovo authorities again want to extend the deadlines,” said Milovan Drecun, the Head of the Serbian Parliamentary Committee for Kosovo.

Establishing the Community of Serb Municipalities will be the most significant topic of the upcoming Belgrade-Pristina dialogue because no progress can be expected in the process until that issue is resolved, Milovan Drecun, who chairs the Serbian parliamentary committee on Kosovo-Metohija, said on Monday.

Pristina must be stopped from sabotaging the establishment of the Community of Serb Municipalities, Drecun told reporters in parliament.

Serbia’s general elections are expected to be held also in Kosovo, and OSCE will be most probably requested to offer technical help.

There will be no local elections of Serbia, being that Brussels agreement obliges Kosovo Serbs to hold their elections according to Kosovo’s election system.

Head of the Council for Kosovo at the Serbian Assembly, Milovan Drecun, told Belgrade media that Serbia’s general elections will be held in Kosovo, no matter eventual obstacles by Pristina.

The announcement of the Kosovo Minister for dialogue Edita Tahiri that Pristina wants to talk about the demarcation of the border between Kosovo and Serbia during 2016, Belgrade sees as a provocation which spoils the atmosphere of dialogue.

On this occasion, the Head of the Parliamentary Committee for KiM Milovan Drecun ruled out the possibility of talks on any borders during the Brussels dialogue.

Pristina endeavors to place the issue of war reparations on the table in the dialogue with Belgrade in Brussels. This topic was mentioned by the Kosovo President Atifete Jahjaga in her annual address to the Kosovo parliament. According to her the dialogue should continue, however new issues should be tabled as well, such as pensions and war reparations.
