Graduates of the University of Pristina (relocated in Mitrovica north) can submit documentation to the municipality of Gračanica for the verification of diplomas, announced the Office for Community Affairs and the Ministry of Education of Kosovo.

The project is managed by the EU Office in Kosovo which recently has published procedures for submitting requests.

The right to apply have the students who graduated at the University of Pristina since 2001.

Minister for Communities and Return Dalibor Jevtić says that he spoke with representatives of the international community and that they did not see the reasons for the actions of the Kosovo Police "around the attempts of expulsion of the representative of Serbia from Gračanica, as well as for the ban on a visit to Peć."

The Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija says that no official from Pristina has apologized for the police stopping of his vehicle and the attempt of his "expulsion" from Gračanica.

On the other hand, the Deputy Foreign Minister of Kosovo Valon Murtezaj said that Đurić did not respect the agreement on official visits of Belgrade.

Marko Djuric has said that "a crude and unlawfully attempt to arrest and deport him from Kosovo" took place in Gracanica last night.

The Kosovo police in this Serb enclave late on Wednesday stopped and held a car in which the director of the Serbian Government's Office for Kosovo was traveling, demanding that he leaves Kosovo.

However, Djuric was later told that he would be able to continue his visit "according to the protocol," Tanjug's reporter in Gracanica said.

Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Branimir Stojanović warns today in Gračanica that he might talk to the representatives of the Kosovo police in this municipality through the street, because, he adds, the police apparently understand only a street argument, protest, or people expressing their views about a particular situation.

The people who survive in this area represent one of the pillars of the Serbian existence in Kosovo and today's holiday is a good opportunity to send the message to the entire Serbian people that Serbia without Kosovo has no meaning, said the Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Đurić in Gračanica.
