Djuric: No one will abolish Serbian institutions in Kosovo

Kosovo-Metohija Serbs should be certain that no one will abolish Serbian institutions in the province, and Kosovo’s minister for dialogue Edita Tahiri will definitely not do that either, says the head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Marko Djuric.

The first Brussels agreement and the principles of establishing the Community of Serb Municipalities do not make implementation of agreements conditional on abolishing the institutions of the Republic of Serbia, he told Tanjug.

Djuric was reacting to Tahiri’s statement that, by failing to implement the Brussels agreements, Belgrade is slowing down the start of work of a tripartite group set up to abolish “parallel structures” in Kosovo, which she said will impact the start of work on the Community statute.

Serbian institutions in Kosovo – including the health and education systems in Serb communities – have never been on the agenda of the Brussels dialogue, he noted.
