BELGRADE Serbian PM Ivica Dacic said in parliament Friday that he would not allow Kosovo Serbs to have the same fate as Serbs from the former Republic of Serb Krajina. At the end of the parliamentary debate on the government’s report on the dialogue with Pristina, he said that talks on private and public property, status of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) and telecommunications would follow. “Government wants to build strong, stable Serbia” Dacic said that the government was ready to build strong and stable Serbia in the best interest of the people with those who shared such a vision. He pointed out that unity was necessary and that the government’s aim was not “attack” northern Kosovo Serbs in order to justify the acceptance of the document. The PM stressed that the Belgrade negotiating team had not negotiated with NATO in terms of written guarantees and mutual relations. “With (EU High Representative Catherine) Ashton we took part in exchange of letters between (Kosovo PM Hashim) Thaci and NATO according to which Kosovo assumed responsibility, and they were informed in a letter by (NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh) Rasmussen, that they cannot come to the north’s territory without KFOR’s consent and only in cases of natural disasters and with consultation of local Serb leaders,” he explained. Dacic denied that the Serbian government’s Office for Kosovo would be closed and stressed that its now former Director Aleksandar Vulin had played a great role but that he personally did not agree with the agreement. He underscored that it was not “just one agreement but setting a course that Serbia will take” and that claims that Serbs would leave Kosovo because of the Brussels agreement because Serbs south of the Ibar River had been living in accordance with Kosovo laws for 14 years. The PM said that he did not want Kosovo Serbs to go through what Serbs in Republic of Serb Krajina had gone through when they rejected the Z-4 agreement and the Croatian military Operation Storm followed.
