Political Advisor at the Council of Europe (CoE) Friedrich Francois said today in Belgrade at a meeting with Serbia-Montenegrin Minister of Human and Minority Rights Rasim Ljajic that the CoE legal sector will send experts to Pristina to submit a proposal of legal bases of the decentralisation plan for Kosovo-Metohija, taking into account the Serbian government's plan for the solution to the Kosovo problem.

Ljajic said that decentralisation is not a demand for ethnic division of the province, but the application of international democratic standards whose aim is to secure safe life for all citizens in the province, as well as the return of the expelled.
Ljajic pointed out that decentralisation is an institutional guarantee of security for members of all communities in Kosovo-Metohija and a condition for maintaining stability in the whole region, read a statement by the Serbia-Montenegrin Council of Ministers information office.
If decentralisation is not established as soon as possible, Kosovo-Metohija will soon become monoethnic, Ljajic stressed.
