Opposition Serb Radical Party (SRS) officials and supporters held a protest in front of the presidency building in downtown Belgrade on Wednesday. The SRS called on the government to stop Serbia’s EU integration process. SRS holds protest against EU integration About a hundred people attended the rally dubbed “We do not want to join the European Union” which started at noon. The Radicals planned on handing a letter to President Boris Tadic but were stopped by a police cordon. The presidency building was surrounded by police from all sides and citizens were unable to go through during the one-hour protest. The Radicals said in the letter that the government’s pro-western policy had completely failed and that the government had renounced Kosovo. SRS deputy leader Dragan Todorovic told reporters that there was no difference between KFOR’s barricades at the administrative crossings in northern Kosovo and “the barricades that Tadic is setting up for Serbia with his policy”. “The SRS is against Serbia’s EU accession because Europe won’t accept Serbia. They will formally give us the status but they will first, among other things, ask us to abolish Serbian institutions in Kosovo, the Kosovska Mitrovica Court,” he stressed. The party added that the current government’s policy “has brought Serbia to territorial dismemberment and a complete social and economic downfall”. “Tadic, stop deceiving the Serbian citizens that they will live better if they choose the Brussels utopia. Renouncing Kosovo and Metohija, Vojvodina and Raska, renouncing legitimate national interests, renouncing our history, roots and identity and erasing the Serbian memory is not a road that leads to a better life, it’s a road to destruction,” the SRS pointed out in the letter. SRS official Aleksandar Martinovic said that Serbia had friends in the world and that they were Russia and China and not Brussels and Washington, while another SRS official Milorad Micic pointed out that the “Serbian Radicals do not want to argue with the Serbian police”. The protesters carried the SRS flags and banners saying “Tadic renounced Kosovo” and “Tadic, you betrayed yourself and Serbia”. The European Commission (EC) proposed on Wednesday that Serbia be given the EU candidate status but the final decision will be made by the Council of the European Union in December. (Tanjug)
