Resigning

The action they took last November has pledged that they will repeat it if the Government of Kosovo does not lift the 100 per cent fee for products originating from Serbia.

In late November last year, the chairman of northern Mitrovica -- the Leposaviqi, the Zvecanian and the chairman of Zubin-Potok -- abandoned the posts, as a sign of dissatisfaction not only with the tax, but also with the arrests of Serbs suspected of the murder of Oliver Ivanovic, writes today “Koha Ditore<1>.

They had also declared a break in communication with Kosovo institutions. And in the letters of resignations that they had filed with the Ministry of Management of Local Power, Kosovo had referred to Metohija “and Metohi”, the appointment Serbia uses for the state it considers its own province. Despite this, following President Hashim Thaci's election proclamation, the resignations themselves entered the race, which they won this Sunday.

The threat of renewed resignations has been made Friday, following their meeting in Belgrade with Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq.
