The title of the decision itself, “Medieval Monuments in Kosovo, Serbia”, confirms that the monuments do belong to the Serbian state, said Tomic.
According to Tomic, the most important fact is to that UNESCO remained within the framework of legal procedures and standards, since it is an organisation within the UN and therefore obliged to respect UN Security Council Resolution 1244.
Tomic confirmed that the decision was made in Seville to continue with all current reconstruction projects of Serbian sanctuaries in Kosovo.
Serbia should also intensify its part in the process of the reconstruction of Kosovo monuments, she noted.
