According to numerous reports it is not a rare occurrence that women in Kosovo are discriminated against in many areas of social life, while the attitude of some employers or heads of the institutions toward women is different comparing to the one toward the men. One of the latest examples is a dismissal of Vesna Mikic as Deputy Minister of Justice, Voice of America reports.

Recently deposed Deputy Minister of Justice Vesna Mikic sent an open letter to the Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj and representatives of the international community, noting the aim of her dismissal was to permanently remove legitimately elected Serb representatives from Pristina institutions, RTS reported.

“Decision to replace deputy justice minister Vesna Mikic over her personal stance on the NATO aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia expressed on social networks which absolutely reflected the truth, represents a continuation of political appointments of private and suitable Serbs in Pristina institutions by Haradinaj, Thaci and Veseli,”  Srpska Lista said in a statement, reacting to yesterday’s decision of Ramush Haradinaj to depose Vesna Mikic.
