"Kosovo is Serbia, to you it is independent, to us it is not. To us Kosovo is a part of the territory of Serbia and there is no possibility of us accepting an alternative. It (Kosovo) was, it is, and will be a part of Serbia," Zaric added.

According to Zaric and her colleagues, the decision breaches the Statute of the Cultural Centre, as she was not given a proper deadline to prepare for the handover.
