Serbian Minister for Kosovo and Metohija Slobodan Samardzic said Monday that his ministry's priority next year would be to "organize" life for the Serbs and the functioning of the state in Kosovo and Metohija."
"Whatever the scenario, the Serbs will live in their municipalities, their settlements, and implement Serbia's policy in Kosovo. They will, therefore, be in their regime of life, and it will be the ministry's task to ensure that," Samardzic said.
According to him, international communication will also be important, along with the need to look for some status solutions. "If the Albanian side is not ready for that, if the EU and the U.S. insist on independence and want to impose it, the state will run its policy its own way," the minister said.
Samardzic also said that Serbia would wait for the moment when the international community and the Kosovo Albanians would realize that such parallelism was not the answer, and that the status negotiations must resume sooner or later.
