Ministry for Kosovo State Secretary Oliver Ivanovic yesterday spoke about plans to “integrate” northern Kosovo with Pristina’s institutions. The plan, announced by the ethnic Albanian authorities and head of the International Civilian Office (ICO) Pieter Feith “has no chances of success because it does not have the approval of the Serbs and the Serbian government”, Ivanovic told Tanjug news agency on Sunday. “Quasi statehood won’t spread to north” "There is no doubt that Pieter Feith and his office are the brains behind the plan," he added. According to Ivanovic, such a plan is meant to divert the focus away from real problems the ethnic Albanians and the ICO have in Kosovo, “like the huge unemployment, social tensions and a weak government”. "Serbia will stand by its institutions, particularly the local government ones, and all other institutions that continued operating beyond 1999. There will be no new institutions, and the existing ones will have their support from the Serbian government. Those institutions can in no way be called parallel, because they are the only institutions trusted by the Serbs and ethnic non-Albanians, and represent places where they can ask for services and settle their daily needs," Ivanovic explained. On the other hand, the institutions being imposed by the ethnic Albanian authorities in Kosovo are parallel institutions, and their intention to spread their quasi-independence to areas populated by the Serbs has no chance of success, said Ivanovic.
