BELGRADE The opposition Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) has called on the president and the government to resign over a decision to initial an agreement with Pristina. The party also called for an emergency referendum so citizens could say whether they were in favor or against the agreement. DSS calls for referendum on Brussels agreement DSS deputy leader Slobodan Samardzic says that the proposed agreement between Belgrade and Pristina would shut down Serbian institutions in Kosovo. He told a news conference that acceptance of the agreement would be "a betrayal of Serbian national interests." “The Brussels agreement completes the cycle began with the signing of the Stabilization and Association Agreement with the EU on April 29, 2008, and what one government started, another one finished in short order - Serbian institutions in Kosovo have been abolished in just five years'," he said. The DSS official noted that the government was not telling the truth when it said that the Brussels agreement was the best possible solution at the moment. According to Samardzic, the proposal also brings into question other legal guarantees of Serbia's sovereignty in Kosovo, such as UN Security Council Resolution 1244. He said the DSS would hold a protest against the agreement and deliver a list of demands to the government, noting that implementation would not be possible because of resistance from Kosovo Serbs. He also questioned the guarantees NATO gave to Serbia, since this was just an oral agreement. Slobodan Samardzic (Tanjug, file) Tanjug
