The medals were introduced by the Diocese of Raska and Prizren with the aim of increasing the birth rate in Kosovo-Metohija. This year, more than 90 mothers from this diocese with more than four children received the medals.

The Minister for Kosovo-Metohija attended the constitutive session of the Community Assembly of Municipalities of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo-Metohija held in Kosovska Mitrovica.

He stressed that Serbs and other non-ethnic Albanians loyal to Serbia now have democratically elected representatives and organs of authority.

According to him, they will represent a de facto portion of Serbia’s authorities in the field and help Serbs, Gorani and other non-ethnic Albanians loyal to Serbia to remain on their land and live safely as citizens of Serbia.
