Serbia to send non-paper to all CoE member states - daily

BELGRADE - Serbia will send a non-paper to all Council of Europe (CoE) member states in which it will list facts and arguments against the so-called Kosovo's potential admission to the organisation, Belgrade-based Vecernje novosti daily reported on Friday.

The document will list all cases of ethnically-motivated attacks on Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija, property usurpation, desecration of churches, monasteries and cemeteries, land expropriation for construction of Pristina's military bases and staged trials without witnesses, and highlight Pristina's failure to establish a Community of Serb Municipalities, which is its commitment from the Brussels Agreement that is now more than 4,000 days old, the report said.

The document will also include arguments about the way the abolition of the Serbian dinar is threatening the very livelihood of the Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija.

All of the above directly falls under the domain of rule of law, respect of which should be the most important criterion for CoE membership, the document says.

The document is also expected to warn of the precedent of admitting the so-called Kosovo to the CoE as it has no seat in the UN.

Sending the non-paper will be the first task of a special government team whose formation was demanded by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic at an extraordinary government session on Thursday, Vecernje novosti said.
