Kosovo Ministry State Secretary Oliver Ivanovic has warned Serb municipal presidents in the province not to obstruct the Serbian government. “A response to this by the state is imminent, because not every municipal president can decide on things that the Serbian government has already decided on,” Ivanovic told daily Politika regarding the various policies on customs espoused by officials from four municipalities in northern Kosovo. “Serb municipal leaders under fire from ministry” “Relations with EULEX, courts, customs and the police are issues that the Serbian government has already decided on and adopted a position on. It is unacceptable that this is being called into question by any municipal president, let alone three,” the state secretary said. “They do not understand that they were elected by local residents to address communal problems at local level. No one has given them a mandate to discuss relations between Medvedev and Obama, or to decide where the president, prime minister or minister will go and what they will say,” Ivanovic stressed. “They cannot question government policy. This is a chance to show that Kosovo is a part of Serbia and that the Serbian government has its own authority down there,” he said. The state secretary said that the government must react. “If it does not, it will show that the municipal presidents are off the leash and pursuing their own policies,” he said. “Elected presidents of municipalities professing to be a part of Serbia cannot obstruct the Serbian government with protests that are politically motivated. Those are people whose mouths are full of Serbia, who are calling on the Serbian government institutions to go down there,” Ivanovic said. “But it seems to me that they are not so much interested in the institutions as in Serbian state funds. So, they want the Serbian budget, but the government, they can do without,” he surmised. “They are losing sight of the fact that they were not elected to solve the problems of the Serbian government, but problems with plumbing, pipes and streets that are in a catastrophic state,” Ivanovic concluded.
