The main problem with the Sustainable Survival and Return Strategy for the Kosovo Serbs is that it is unclear which ministry is in charge, says the Kosovo SNV. “One of the very relevant factors in the survival and return of Serbs is the international community, but also the Kosovo institutions and the Albanians. There are no ministry instructions or recommendations in that sense,“ said Serb National Council (SNV) Chairman Rada Trajkovic. Returns Strategy receives cautious welcome Trajkovic said that the efforts of the people who had drawn up the strategy should not be underestimated, but that even the best documents had shortcomings. “I think this document could have been supplemented with a whole host of very relevant things. But it’s up to [Kosovo] Minister Goran Bogdanovic how it will be done,“ she said. Bogdanovic himself says that he cannot understand the “fuss and commotion“ that the draft Strategy has caused. “For the first time in all these years, we’ve called for a transparent and frank debate on how we should resolve this key problem. The draft strategy is just a proposal that should be discussed at all levels and, later, shaped into a final version,“ said the minister. He put the question publicly: “Does that mean that it’s better to sit around and do nothing, and leave the problems to the elements, to let them sort themselves out?“ “At the same time, patriotic declarations are being made that sound powerful, but don’t help people survive in Kosovo or return to their homes,“ said Bogdanovic.
