Serbian Press Agency SRNA, Bijeljina, 28-09-2005 13:08:30

Belgrade - Dusan Prorokovic, the chairman of the Serbian Assembly's Committee for Kosovo and Metohija, said that the declaration adopted today by the Kosovo Assembly is "an internal political matter of the Kosovo Albanians which seeks to reduce the growing tension between the government and the opposition".

He added that this is not the first time the Kosovo Assembly has done something like this because there have been various earlier resolutions, declarations and platforms relating to the status of Kosovo and Metohija.

According to Prorokovic, at this point in time the Kosovo Assembly should concern itself more with the degree of standards fulfillment which is its job, according to UN Security Council Resolution 1244 and the provisional constitutional framework, not concerning itself with the status issue.

"I think that they themselves are aware that Pristina will have far less to say on the matter than they are admitting publicly. Brussels and New York and Washington will have far more to say on it," emphasized Prorokovic. [...]
