Members of the People’s Party, the Serbian Movement Dveri, the Oath Keepers, the NADA (Hope) coalition, and a group of professors and academicians on Oct. 4 announced the Proclamation for unification to defend Kosovo and Metohija, which underlines that it is the last moment to change Belgrade’s policy on Kosovo. They have also prepared a Declaration on full reintegration of the province in Serbia’s constitutional and legal system.  

According to the Declaration, read by Academician Matija Beckovic, all proposals are inadmissible which involve a division, exchange of territory, giving up Kosovo, giving away portions or the entire territory of Kosovo and Metohija, Kosovo’s membership in the U.N., or which in any way jeopardize the future of the province’s integrity within Serbia.

“Within the process of ‘full reintegration,’ we are ready to open dialogue with representatives of the Kosovo Albanians on building a system for the rule of law for all ethnic communities and all citizens, as well as for methods for carrying out constitutional and legal reintegration to the common benefit,” it is said in the Declaration.  

Misa Djurkovic of the Institute of European Studies has said that “inadmissible practice” of foreign countries’ ambassadors humiliating Serbia through local, Serbian media outlets has been introduced in Serbia. Professor Milos Kovic has said that the influence of foreign politicians on activities and events in the state has been growing.

People’s Party leader Vuk Jeremic has reiterated his party position that insisting on non-recognition of Kosovo’s independence is not enough. “We should not recognize Kosovo, even if the entire world recognizes it someday,” Jeremic stressed.
