Bogdanovic addressed returnees in Osojane after he officially opened the new building of the Rados Tosic primary school.
Our two basic goals are the fight to preserve Serbia’s territorial integration and strengthen the Serbian community in the province, and in future we will employ more efforts to create favourable conditions for the return of the displaced, said Bogdanovic.
He reiterated that the EULEX deployment in the province will be acceptable to Serbia only if the UN Security Council gives the green light and if EULEX remains status-neutral and does not attempt to implement Martti Ahtisaari’s plan.
Istok municipal president Dragoljub Repanovic informed Bogdanovic and the president of the Coordinating Centre for Kosovo-Metohija Zvonimir Stevic that returnees of Serbian nationality are facing huge problems in Metohija.
Following the opening of the new school building, Bogdanovic will hold a press conference in Osojane and talk about his Ministry’s first 100 days in office. Afterwards, he will visit the Pec Patriarchate and Visoki Decani monastery.
