Tadic also visited ruins of the St. Nicolas Church in Pristina, and then Strpce and Velika Hoca. In Strpce, Tadic said that he urged Pristina to provide additional security guarantees for Serbs and other non-Albanians in the province and stressed that independence of Kosovo-Metohija is an unacceptable solution.
At the beginning of his visit to Kosovsko Pomoravlje, Tadic told the inhabitants of the village of Silovo, in the Gnjilane municipality, that "Kosovo-Metohija is a part of Serbia-Montenegro both under domestic and international law and that is the position that I will hold in Belgrade and Pristina".
Today, President Tadic visited the Visoki Decani monastery, the St. Archangels monastery near Pristina, Serb enclaves Belo Polje near Pec and Gorazdevac, the Gracanica monastery and the villages in central Kosovo - Batuse, Lipljan and Priluzje near Vucitrn, as well as Kosovska Mitrovica.
During the visit, Tadic said that he is carrying the message of peace, first of all to Serbs, but also to Albanians and all others living in this territory as well. Commenting on the situation in which Serbs live in Kosovo today, he said that "there are no people in Europe today that live harder than Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija and no one can deny that fact". Tadic highlighted the importance of Orthodox sacred sites and Christian religion, stressing that "no one can say that Christianity has no right to survive on this land".
Today Tadic also spoke with Milisav Dakic, father of Pantelija Dakic, who was one of the boys from Gorazdevac that were killed on the Bistrica River on August 13, 2003. Perpetrators of this and other crimes against Serbs have not been discovered under the international protectorate in the province.
This is the first visit to Kosovo-Metohija by a Serbian President since the United Nations took power in the province on June 10, 1999.
