President Boris Tadic has appealed on UNMIK and EULEX missions in Kosovo to establish the rule of law and secure peaceful life for all. His message came on the eve of the fifth anniversary of large scale anti-Serb violence in the province. Tadic in appeal to UNMIK, EULEX "Five years after the pogrom against the Serbs, which took place on March 17, 2004, there is still no security, no freedom of movement, no justice, electricity, water, or respect of basic norms of civilization," Tadic said in a statement published in Belgrade on Monday. He reminded that the Kosovo Albanian extremists' March violence took 19 lives, while 950 people were left wounded. More than 4,000 Serbs were driven out of their homes in the space of several days, with 900 of their homes destroyed. In the same period of time, 35 Serb Orthodox Christian holy places were either mined or set on fire, including monuments of culture dating back to the 14th and 16th centuries. "Five years after, those guilty of this organized violence have not been punished," the president reminded. Tadic called on UN and EU missions in Kosovo, UNMIK and EULEX, to make sure that justice is available to all its residents, regardless of their ethnic or religious identity. "All crimes must be investigated and processed. Each criminal must face justice in front of impartial and just courts. We expect the international missions to investigate crimes, establish the rule of law and provide for peaceful life in the province, not to set free those who had committed crimes," said the president. "Serbia will never recognize the illegal independence of Kosovo and Metohija," Tadic reiterated, adding that the country will protect its integrity using peaceful, diplomatic and legal means in international institutions. Serbia expects the UN to fulfill its mandate of managing the province, the president said. A file photo of Boris Tadic (FoNet)
