Markovic calls on Albanians to join Coordinating Body
Presevo,
3 November 2008
Serbian Minister of Public Administration and Local Self-Government, Milan Markovic, today called on ethnic-Albanians living in Presevo, Medvedja and Bujanovac to elect delegates to the Coordinating Body for southern Serbia.
President of the Coordinating Body for the southern Serbian municipalities of Presevo, Medvedja and Bujanovac Markovic said that he talked with presidents of the three municipalities, Nader Sadik, Shaip Kamberi and Slobodan Draskovic and told them that Albanians can have representatives in the Coordinating Body now because the Serbian government has decided to recognize those diplomas awarded by the University of Pristina having a UNMIK stamp.
Main subjects of the talks held in Presevo today were judicial reform and the economic development of southern Serbia.
Plans to open a department of the Belgrade business school in Medvedja and to start production in the recently privatised Lece mines were also discussed.
Markovic said that development projects for Presevo, Medvedja and Bujanovac will be implemented from the beginning of next year, in which the Serbian Chamber of Commerce will also take part.
He said that there are plans to have Albanian judiciary personnel in all courts, not just first instance courts.
The reorganisation of courts in Serbia will not mean that small cities will remain without courts, because judicial bodies will be established there, said the Minister.
The talks with Albanian representatives were also attended by State Secretary at the Justice Ministry Slobodan Homen and State Secretary at the Ministry of Economy and Regional Development Dejan Jovanovic and the only Albanian MP, Riza Halimi.
