Interior Ministry, City of Novi Sad continue successful cooperation
Novi Sad,
17 August 2009
Novi Sad Mayor Igor Pavlicic presented yesterday First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Ivica Dacic with 80 bullet-proof vests and four Fiat Punto cars for the local police.
This is a continuation of our successful cooperation and support of the Novi Sad police, aimed at providing better working conditions and greater efficiency, Pavlicic said.
Dacic noted that Serbia’s prime goal is to maintain stability and peace in Kosovo since the victims of recent incidents and ethnic cleansing there were Serbian.
A draft protocol on cooperation between the Interior Ministry and EULEX has been prepared, he said, noting that cooperation is necessary in the cases of criminal groups crossing the administrative line, terrorism, drugs and arms trading, smuggling, etc.
The protocol will be based on UN Security Council Resolution 1244 and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon's six item report, the Deputy Prime Minister highlighted.
Problems in the implementation of that protocol might arise from the Albanian side, whose representatives already claim that the protocol does not recognise Kosovo’s independence. As far as Serbia is concerned, we have never recognised it anyway, Dacic noted.
Speaking about the south of Serbia, Dacic said that Belgrade wants talks with local Albanians concerning equal rights, adding that they need to be included in all social structures, attend schools in Albanian and make use of all the rights that national minorities in Serbia enjoy.
Commenting on the occurrence of numerous traffic accidents, Dacic called on all drivers to respect traffic rules, since most traffic incidents occur as a result of speeding or the use of excessive alcohol or mobile phones.
He also said that under the new Law on traffic safety those who violate traffic rules will be punished more severely.
