Serbia offers solution to electricity problem in Kosovo
Gracanica,
10 March 2009
Assistant Minister for Kosovo-Metohija and President of the Coordinating Body for Kosovo-Metohija Zvonimir Stevic today stated that the Ministry for Kosovo-Metohija and the Coordinating Body sent an official protest note to UNMIK over the problem of electricity supply in Kosovo, in which they offered two solutions, resulting from joint activities of the Ministry for Kosovo-Metohija, the Ministry of Mining and Energy and the Serbian electric power industry Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS).
In an interview with the Tanjug news agency, Stevic said that the first solution concerns the setting up of a separate enterprise, which would provide electricity to Serb-inhabited areas.
The government also approved the idea that EPS compensate for the electricity Serbian households have already used, said Stevic.
Stevic pointed out that by cutting off power supply, temporary Kosovo institutions have provoked serious crisis, which could become a real humanitarian catastrophe.
The main goal of Pristina authorities is either to force Serbs to recognise Kosovo institutions or to leave Kosovo-Metohija, said Stevic.
The Serbian government has demanded that the international community does something in order to terminate agony of Serbs in Kosovo as soon as possible.
