BELGRADE Vojislav Kostunica has called on the Constitutional Court of Serbia to rule on the constitutionality of the IBM agreement, reached during the Kosovo dialogue. The deal, officially entitled, "Integrated Border Management (IBM)", refers to the management of crossings on the administrative line between central Serbia and Kosovo. It was initialed by the previous, and is now being implemented by Serbia's current government. Constitutional Court asked to rule on Kosovo deal "Since the question whether integrated management of crossings is or is not constitutional has arisen most dramatically in our public, it goes without saying that your duty is to respond to this question, of crucial importance for our country and people, in a timely manner and in accordance with the Constitution," Kostunica, who heads the opposition Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS), wrote in his letter to the Court. "If you believe these directives are in line with the Constitution and should be implemented, now is the time to say this to the Serbian people. If you believe these directives are unconstitutional, it is even more important that, in line with your authority, you immediately make the needed decision to prevent irreparable damage to state and national interests," reads the letter sent by the former Yugoslav president and Serbian prime minister. "I am certain you are aware that the worst solution is silence and avoidance of your duty and constitutional obligation. The eyes of our citizens, the eyes of the Serbian people are on you and are waiting for your decision," wrote Kostunica. Previously, the DSS petitioned the Court to suspend the execution of all government decrees stemming from agreements reached during the EU-sponsored Kosovo dialogue, until a decision has been made on their constitutionality.
