PUBLIC
STATEMENT OF THE SERBIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH COUNCIL FOR KOSOVO AND
METOHIJA
After listening to multiple reports from the Province, the Council
concluded that, despite minor improvements, essentially nothing
has changed for our people. They continue to live a life unworthy
of free man, without legal, social, health or any other form of
security. Judging from the most recent murders in Obilic and violence
throughout Kosovo and Metohija they are frequently in justifiable
fear for their very lives. We fear that those guilty for these
most recent crimes will be neither found nor punished, as the
perpetrators of hundreds of murders from June 1999 to the present
have been neither found nor punished.
POSITION
OF SERBS IN KOSOVO REMAINS ESSENTIALLY UNCHANGED
BELGRADE - The Council for Kosovo and Metohija of the Serbian
Orthodox Church's Holy Synod of Bishops has assessed that, despite
minor improvements, essentially nothing has changed for the Serb
people in the Province.
JAMES BISSET: VIDOVDAN SPEECH, NIAGARA FALLS, 29. JUNE
2003
I became an eyewitness to the subsequent violence and break up
of the country. I also was a witness to the "historical amnesia"
suffered by the political leaders of France, Britain, the United
States and my own country, Canada. These countries were Serbia's
old traditional allies in two world wars yet they shamefully stood
by and joined in the betrayal of Yugoslavia.
FIRST TOPIC OF DIALOGUE - RETURN AND SECURITY OF SERBS
IN KOSOVO
The political analyst and consultant for the Institute for social
sciences in Belgrade, Ognjen Pribicevic, has announced that preparations
for genuine talks on the resolving of the Kosovo issue are to
be expected during this year. He also pointed out that the first
topic of talks between Belgrade and Pristina should be the return
and security of the Serbs to Kosovo. What is happening in Kosovo,
how Serbs live there and how they are treated is below African
standards and not in concordance with European trends during the
last 100 years.

"No one here keeps their window opens," the
Serbs of Obilic will say. "There is one Serb house for every
three Albanian ones so how are we supposed to rest during the
night? As soon as dusk falls, we lock everything and pray that
we wake up alive. When we go to bed, we cross ourselves and pray:
Lord, grant that we wake up alive. And when we wake up we say:
Lord, thank you for granting that we wake up alive. In Serbia
you go out on the town at 10 o'clock at night; here we have to
lock ourselves in at 8."
RADOSAVLJEVIC: ALBANIAN LEADERS AND INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
TO BLAME FOR LOW RETURNS
"The obstruction of returns is primarily carried out by Albanian
political leaders, who have promised the Albanian population independence
as the only possible, and who came to power by manipulating the
uneducated populace. They cannot change this policy now out of
fear that they will lose the support of the voters," said
Radosavljevic. "A second reason for obstruction is the fact
that primarily the Albanian population has illegally occupied
the property of displaced persons. For the last four years they
have behaved as if this property was theirs, and they want to
hold on to the property in the future as well," said Radosavljevic.
Radosavljevic indicated that a third factor for obstruction or
even blocking of the return of displaced persons to Kosovo is
the inadequate behavior of representatives of the international
administration in the Province. "Some representatives of
the international administration are willing to participate in
obstruction or to to passively observe what is happening out of
fear of the reaction of the majority Albanian population or because
they are indoctrinated or even, in individual cases, because they
are corrupt," said Radosavljevic.
