Geneva,
10 December 2008
Deputy Prime Minister Jovan Krkobabic spoke yesterday with UN High Commissioner Antonio Guterres in Geneva about how to efficiently solve the long-lasting refugee crisis in Serbia and exercise the rights of Serbs exiled from Croatia.
Krkobabic told Tanjug he is optimistic, noting that the talks were very useful and successful.
Special attention was given to the open issues with Croatia, he said, explaining that the problems Serbs are facing in Croatia were highlighted, including their repatriation, property issues, back pensions, validation of years of employment, etc.
He also said that the Serbian delegation and the UN High Commissioner hold equal opinions.
Croatia must act responsibly and treat exiled and refugee Serbs in the same way as its other citizens, he said.
He also said that Guterres will visit Serbia, probably next spring.
