KOSOVSKA MITROVICA Nebojsa Stefanovic says Serbia's parliament and institutions "will never allow for anything that would imply Serbia's statehood in Kosovo would be trampled on." The parliament speaker made the remarks in Kosovska Mitrovica on Thursday. Speaker addresses Serbs in Kosovo "It is important that after the second round of local elections in the province on December 1, a community of Serb municipalities (ZSO)be formed in line with the interests of the Serb people living there," he underscored. Stefanovic said that the first-round results show that "people want the ZSO," noting that it "would guarantee the survival of Serbs in the province." “By receiving money from both Serbia and the EU, the community of Serb municipalities will have an opportunity to take care about citizens through economic development, which will be within its competences, through healthcare, regional police commander, courts and prosecution,” Stefanovic said at the Faculty of Philosophy in Kosovska Mitrovica. “We consider Kosovo and Metohija a part of our territory, a part of Serbia, and that is why we should take care of Serbs regardless of where they are. The community of Serb municipalities will have to show strength through the education and healthcare systems, as the main pillars of Serbs' survival. After the run-off vote, we will have, I hope, 10 mayors that will primarily engage in defending the interests of the Serbs living here,” Stefanovic said. Stefanovic noted that there is a false dilemma as to whether Serbia is selling Kosovo in exchange for the EU entry, stressing that it is absolutely not true. “The Brussels agreement guarantees that we can exercise our rights to a greater extent, Kosovo cannot be an independent state, Serbia will never recognize Kosovo's independence, and Serbia has many friends across the world that will not do that either. Kosovo cannot have a seat in the UN,” Stefanovic said. On Thursday, Stefanovic talked with citizens and students together with Minister without Portfolio in charge of Kosovo Aleksandar Vulin.
