Belgrade welcomes UN mission, objects to itinerary

According to the government website, Samardžić said Serbia will suggest that another, lower-ranking delegation travels to the province in the wake of the current visit more thoroughly explore the state of affairs in Kosovo “more thoroughly”.

“Freedom of movement is restricted for Serbs in Kosovo, the safety situation is disastrous and 156 Orthodox Churches have been burned to the ground, while these facts are being covered up with optimistic tales about improving and implementation of standards,” Samardžić told journalists.

“Serbia is not satisfied with the fact that the mission will not have the time to visit any of the 156 devastated churches, Prizren, or Goraždevac,” Rašković-Ivić said.

“On Friday the mission will visit Bishop Artemije in Gračanica and we would like them to visit the collective centre there, that is, the container residence area where people afflicted by the March 17-18 pogrom now live,” Rašković-Ivić added.

“UNMIK representatives regularly visit Serb communities and exert inappropriate pressure with promises and mild threats in order to scare people into supporting UNMIK and Ahtisaari’s proposal,” Rašković-Ivić said, adding she will inform the UN fact-finding mission about this claim.
