Presenting a report on the security situation in Serbia and the work of the police in the past year at the meeting of the parliament’s defence and security committee, Dacic stated that the situation in Kosovo-Metohija is still difficult and burdened with numerous security challenges and risks for the remaining Serb and other non-Albanian population.
He pointed out that classical forms of ethnically motivated attacks against the remaining Serbs are still present and added that 67 people were injured in these attacks, which is more than in 2008.
The First Deputy Prime Minister stressed that significant property damage was caused, and that there was a permanent threat to human rights and freedoms, including freedom of movement, health care and education.
International security forces, despite their efforts, have failed to provide freedom and a secure life for the remaining Serb population even after being present ten years in the province, emphasised Dacic.
Last year four terrorist attacks, many armed provocations and physical assaults and arson took place in houses of Serbs, especially returnees, he noted.
The First Deputy Prime Minister underlined that in 2009 there were 109 cases of intimidation and pressure on Serbs to sell their property in Kosovo-Metohija.
He said that 27 organised criminal groups, with more than 200 members who are mostly involved in drug trafficking, were registered in Serbia in late 2009.
