Srpska lista representatives meet with CoE rapporteur

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA - Srpska lista leader Zlatan Elek and the organisation's deputy leader Dragisa Milovic met with Council of Europe Rapporteur Dora Bakoyannis in Kosovska Mitrovica on Friday, noting that the position of Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija was the worst since 1999, which they said was a direct consequence of anti-Serb actions by Albin Kurti's regime.

They presented dozens of cases of blatant violations of the rights of Serbs by Kurti's regime that have been met with silence on the part of the international community, which is absolutely unacceptable as it is a threat to the survival of Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija, Srpska lista said in a statement.

"Human rights of the Serbs are under threat as a result of institutional repression our citizens have been subjected to for more than two years," Elek and Milovic told Bakoyannis.

They said daily attacks on Serbs and the Serbian Orthodox Church, usurpation of property and beatings and harassment of Serbs as well as a ban on supplies of goods and medicines jeopardised the vital interests of the Serbs, Srpska lista said.
