Popovic requested the introduction of urgent moratorium on privatisation processes in Kosovo under current, legally unfounded conditions.
Popovic informed deputy of the UN Special Envoy for Kosovo Albert Roan of his request, as well as director of the World Bank for Serbia and regional coordinator for southeastern Europe and Central Asia Orsalia Kalantzopoulos and deputy of the UN Secretary-General Special Envoy for Kosovo Stephen Schook.
The economic team's letter of protest states the necessity of urgent prevention of such attempts to sell property through ways unknown in European and international practice, while at the same time breaking legal norms, circumventing the rights of creditors and banishing Serbia by depriving it of its legitimate right to participate in these processes and in the transparent match taking place in the market.
Popovic once more invited ethnic Albanians and UNMIK to talk things over, adding that it is only through dialogue and compromise solutions that equal conditions are created for all participants in privatisation, though privatisation should wait for the decision on the province's final status.
This would create conditions for a quicker economic revival to the benefit of all residents of Kosovo-Metohija, concludes the statement of the Coordinating Centre for Kosovo-Metohija.
