Serbian Office for Kosovo

Serbia has condemned as a "chauvinistic farce" a decision by electoral authorities in Kosovo to declare invalid more than 3,700 votes sent from Serbia during an October parliamentary election in the former Serbian province.

The head of the Serbian Office for Kosovo and Metohija added that the document's goal was to "collapse the dialogue."

"What they have adopted has nothing to do with intent to reach an agreement. This is a wish-list of the separatists in Pristina, an unrealistic document aimed at bringing down the dialogue and ruining it," Djuric told a press conference.

President of the Serb List Goran Rakic announced on Friday that this political group will be united in the October 22 local elections in Kosovo.

Serbia will not give up on prosecuting all persons accused of war crimes until they have been brought before justice, says Marko Djuric.

The Serbian Office for Kosovo has reiterated in a statement to Tanjug that there was still no agreement with Pristina on registration plates.

Vucic is campaigning for the Serbian elections which are due to take place on April 24th. The explosion happened a few hours before he arrived in the Serbian-populated north of Kosovo.
 

Serbian officials have rushed to quash rumours that the only Serbian university in Kosovo could be placed under the control of the Kosovo government.

Pavle Dimitrijevic, head of the Bureau for Social Research, BIRODI, told BIRN that rumours that the University of Pristina could be integated into independent Kosovo's institutions were false.

Marko Djuric says that the future Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO) in Kosovo is "no threat of any kind to (ethnic) Albanian population."

Its goal, the head of the Serbian Office for Kosovo and Metohija told the state broadcaster RTS, is to "protect Serbs in the province."

Delegations of Belgrade and Pristina on Wednesday in Brussels agreed to begin implementing a memorandum on vehicle insurance on August 12.
