Dacic expressed concern over various forms of ethnic violence against Serbs and other members of the non-Albanian communities in Kosovo, who are still prevented from exercising basic rights and freedoms, the Serbian government's press office said.
“The Serbian government is ready for a coordinated cooperation with the EULEX mission, which is due to be status-neutral and to secure safety and enforcement of rights of all citizens in line with international acts and standards,” Dacic said.
The Serbian prime minister noted that the international missions UNMIK, KFOR and EULEX have a mandate under which they should maintain stability in the territory of entire Kosovo-Metohija.
Serbia is ready to continue and promote the cooperation, particularly at the operative level, in the fight against organized crime and investigation of crimes and human organ trafficking, Dacic said.
The truth should be determined professionally, particularly bearing in mind the information on destruction of evidence which was disclosed in the investigations to date, and therefore Serbia insists that the UN should have an important role in these investigation procedures, the prime minister underlined in the talks with the EULEX head.
