The Serbian Office for Kosovo is demanding that provisional institutions of self-government in Pristina immediately remove a billboards set up in Musutiste.
As stated, the billboard in the most direct way incites nationalist hatred and discourages Serbs who have expressed their willingness to return to the village.
Strengthening the institutional organization of Serbs in Kosovo is a key priority of the new government of Serbia, which this fall will begin the process of better organization of public services in Kosovo, said the head of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Đurić.
Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Đurić, on the occasion of an armed attack on Serbs near Viti/Vitina, warned all the extremists in Kosovo not to play with lives and safety of the Serbs and has requested from the authorities in Pristina to finally show by actions whether they are on the side of peace or terror.
Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Đurić strongly condemns the harassment of six Serbs who were arrested on the road Klina/Klinë-Peć/Pejë, on their return from the celebration in the village Donji Petrić.
In a written statement to the media, Đurić has requested the authorities to release the detained Serbs.
Dalibor Jevtić, Minister for Communities and Returns, announced laying of foundation stone for construction of the first houses for returnees in Mušutište for a little more than a month.
Jevtić said that the priority, after the reconstruction of the first houses, would be to renovate the monastery in Mušutište.
Jevtić urged local governments and local people to provide support and be guarantors of the survival of the Serbs, who will return.
Serbian Government Office for Kosovo strongly condemned the repeated demolition of a memorial plaque dedicated to the missing journalists of Radio Pristina, Ɖuro Slavuj and Ranko Perenić. “The fourth time vandals have destroyed a memory on the innocent victims of the conflict. We expect that the authorities will, unlike previous times, finally do something, so that people responsible for this disgrace will be punished,” reads the statement of the Office for KiM.
The Belgrade-Pristina dialogue will be continued at expert level in Brussels on Thursday, the Serbian government Office for Kosovo and Metohija announced.
The two-day discussions will be held at the European External Action Service headquarters, with the agenda to include all open issues from past discussions between Belgrade and Pristina.
Belgrade's delegation will be headed by Marko Djurić, the Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija.
The formation of the Community/Association of Serb municipalities (ZSO) has not started, even nearly nine months after the agreement. The elections and different interpretations of the Brussels agreement are the reasons for this delay. The international community, these days, intensively urges both Belgrade and Pristina to continue with the implementation, because the continuation of European integration will depend on it.
Pristina "cannot make the creation of the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO) conditional."
This was announced by the Serbian Government's Office for Kosovo, which added: "Especially not on telecommunications, the implementation of which has been hampered by Pristina's nonconstructive approach."
Previously, Edita Tahiri, who serves in the Kosovo government, said that the ZSO will not be set up before Kosovo receives a dial code.
"On the occasion of speculation and false rumours related to the University of Pristina in Kosovska Mitrovica, which were unsigned and released through certain media in Pristina, the Office for KiM announces the following:
