Serbian Human and Minority Rights Minister Milan Markovic has said that elections for the Bosniak National Council will need to be held by the end of the year. “This is a national interest and a need of the Bosniak community and it would be best if this issue was tackled before winter,” Markovic told Belgrade-based daily Politika and added that it was in Serbia's interest for everyone to take part in the elections and this was the reason why talks with all lists' representatives were underway.

The minister said that he would not lay special emphasis on any of the meetings, adding that the topics of the talks comprised issues that were already familiar to the public and those that are less known, all of which were relevant to the life of people in Sandzak. “The talks were aimed at deepening mutual understanding and tackling problems that plague citizens in this part of Serbia,” Markovic pointed out. He underscored that everyone working to the benefit of the citizens would have the support of the Serbian government. The minister stressed that the constitution of the Bosniak Academy of Sciences and Arts cannot have an effect on further destabilization of situation in Sandzak, but he also added that having in mind the claims that could be heard in the media with regard to this issue, it was certainly not contributing to solving problems which people in this part of Serbia were facing.
