Marko Djuric seeks post of Kosovo Assembly Chairman for Serbs

The director of the Office for Kosovo in Serbia's Government, Marko Djurovic, has said there is no reason for a Serb not to be appointed to one of Kosovo's three main functions.

In an interview for RTS, Serbia's Public Broadcaster Marko Djuric, said today that the role of Serbs in forming the Kosovo government should not be “just for decoration”.

In this context, Djuric has taken an example of the election of Talat Xhaferi as Macedonia's top parliamentman, until he has said even one Serb could get one of the three main posts of the state of Kosovo.

“If the president of the Macedonian Parliament may be representative of minority communities, there is no reason that one of the three main functions in our southern province should not be Serbian”, Djuric reported. What Djuriqi had with this case kept silent was the number of Albanians in Macedonia and the number of Serbs in Kosovo. This is not Belgrade's first proposal that Kosovo Serbs take leadership post in Kosovo.

Speaking of the Vuciqi and Hashim Thaci meeting in Brussels tomorrow, Djuriqi said that from this meeting awaits a decomposition of the situation, but also clear time limits for Pristina to start living up to agreements reached in Brussels, thus alluding to the establishment of association.
