Serbia asked to give up its property in Kosovo-Metohija

Belgrade, 5 October 2016

Director of the Office for Kosovo-Metohija Marko Djuric said today that Serbia is faced with a difficult and serious ultimatum because the official Belgrade is asked to give up the assets of Telekom Srbija in the province.

Djuric told reporters that the authorities in Belgrade should state by the end of the week whether or not they accept the draft agreement on telecommunications.

We are asked to give up our property when it comes to telecommunications, but also to waive the assets of Telekom Srbija, and to agree that all of our assets in Kosovo are no longer ours, but of the institutions of the self-proclaimed state in Pristina, he explained.

He expressed his personal assurance that these requirements are not acceptable.

He recalled that a delegation from Belgrade last week held discussions with Pristina in Brussels on the implementation of agreements on telecommunications, explaining that during the night between 29 and 30 September the terms of the agreement were fundamentally changed.

Djuric reiterated that our country is faced with a request to accept these conditions and thus constitute a precedent, and to copy such model on the energy sector as well.

The same model could be used to take into possession hydro plant Gazivode and other electrical energy potentials, he said.

So, from the subtext it is very clear that the official Belgrade is asked to accept the offer, or otherwise continuation of European integration and the opening of chapters will be discontinued, warned Djuric.
