MP Riza Halimi requested from the government to make "a serious analysis of the reasons for the Albanian exodus from Serbia to western European countries". Halimi, who represents a coalition of ethnic Albanian parties from the southeastern part of the country, said in parliament on Tuesday that the government should prevent such a trend by taking urgent measures for improvement of their economic situation. "Urgent measures for improvement of Albanians' standard" The statements came in the same week as warnings that the EU could reintroduce visas because of a large number of Serbian citizens - most of them Roma and Albanians - requesting political asylum based on false claims. As MPs posed questions to the authorities today, Halimi asked the government to explain in which manner the measures at border crossings have been tightened. “In the previous months, I have been trying to launch a topic of the catastrophic economic situation in the municipalities in southern Serbia, where the unemployment rate exceeds 80 percent. I was asking about possible actions by the Serbian government that would prevent the huge migration wave in the last 12 years which has halved the number of Albanians in the Presevo valley,” Halimi said. MPs of the opposition New Serbia (NS) asked the government representatives what has been done in order to improve the living standard in Serbia given that since the government reshuffle, that is in the last two months, property taxes, electricity price and university scholarships have increased, while a gas price rise has been announced. The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) asked Prime Minister Mirko Cvetkovic to which extent the policies of the Serbian government and the National Bank of Serbia are harmonized, and what the government will do in order to efficiently respond to the failure of privatization of the most profitable Serbian company - Telekom Srbija.
