Kosovo's President Fatmir Sejdiu reacted in Prizren today to announcements that Boris Tadic will visit the province this weekend. President Boris Tadic's tour of the Serb-inhabited areas, Sejdiu said, "will have a private character". Sejdiu: Tadic can visit as private citizen Beta news agency has today received confirmation that Tadic will travel to the province, where he will attend Easter Liturgy in Decani on Sunday. Sejdiu added that every entry into and exit from Kosovo falls under UNMIK's jurisdiction, but that Pristina, that is, the Kosovo Albanian authorities, find "every arrival of people who have political propaganda as their goal unacceptable". "People can be allowed to visit their compatriots and there is no problem there. But, the visits that are a part of election campaign, those that create conflict situations and cause hatred are unacceptable to us." "This is an issue for UNMIK, but we have told UNMIK's representatives that anyone who wishes to go through Kosovo in the format they have practiced so far are considered persona non grata by us," Sejdiu was quoted. Asked "how come Tadic's security is made of MUP members", Sejdiu said he was unaware of who will guard Tadic as he arrives in Kosovo. "I do not know who will be in charge. This is a question for UNMIK," he said, and added that the May 11 elections in Kosovo were also "unacceptable". "This is a provocation with the goal of destabilizing Kosovo. What's important for us is that UNMIK, which is still the highest instance here, supports us. They have spoken against these elections as unacceptable and absolutely illegal. Kosovo will not serve as an election unit for the building of parallel institutions and structures of Serbia here," Sejdiu said. He also called on Kosovo's Serbs "not to act destructively toward the Kosovo institutions", and asked the Serb community in Prizren to "join the political processes and institutions", at the same time praising the co-existence of communities in the town.
