Serb municipalities criticize agreement Assembly deputy head Marko Jaksic said the deal "legalized another Albanian state in the Balkans." Jaksic criticized the fact that the Serbian Gendarmerie had removed barricades from the intermediary zone between Kosovo and Serbia proper, urging Radenko Nedeljkovic, head of an emergency headquarters in northern Kosovo, to call a session of the headquarters and take a stand for returning to the situation pre-July 25, 2011, as he is bound by a declaration of the Serbian parliament. The delegates advocated a Serbia-organized election in Kosovo and Metohija, and called on "the people in the rest of Serbia not to vote for political parties that make up the current authorities," stating that this would mean risking the country losing "Kosovo and Metohija, but also Vojvodina and the Raska region."
