Displaced Kosovo Serbs seek return

The procession was headed by Dragan Krstić and his nine children, displaced Serbs from the town of Obilić, along with the Association of Kidnapped and Missing Persons’ Families who were holding photographs of their missing loved ones.

Serbian Orthodox Church priests were also at the head of the column. Protesters  were waving Serbian flags and holding banners that read “Kosovo is Serbia”, “We want to go home”, and “Ahtisaari, out!”

When the procession reached the administrative border, Krstić crossed to the other side with his children, officially entering Kosovo.

He told the press he “no longer wanted to return to Serbia proper”, as he intended to immediately go back to his home in Obilić.

The column stopped several meters away from the border crossing, at which point the organizers addressed the crowd.

They said that the gathering of the displaced Serbs was not a show, but a serious message to the international community that Kosovo Serbs wanted to return to their homes.

They demanded safe return as soon as possible. 

Johan Verbeke, Belgian Ambassador to the UN and head of a Security Council mission currently touring the region said Thursday in Belgrade the mission would not manage to visit the administrative border between Kosovo and Serbia due to “logistic problems and insufficient time.”
