BELGRADE -- The Serb National Council of Northern Kosovo (SNV) will ask
for redeployment of Serbian forces in the province.
One of its leaders, Marko Jakšić, told Radio Beta RFI Wednesday that the
request to send a thousand Serbian police and army personnel back to the
province will be submitted to the government in Belgrade.
In Jakšić's words, their job would be to secure the Serbs in the north
of the province.
"Our initiative, to be sent to the Ministry for Kosovo, will provide for
proper protection of our people, considering there are serious threats
of violence unless the status issue is resolved as soon as possible," he
said.
Jakšić added that the only way to protect the Serb population there was
to send 1,000 policemen and soldiers back to the province, a move which
he says was made possible with a provision of UN Resolution 1244, and
the Kumanovo Agreement that in June 1999 ended the war between Serbia
and NATO.
