told Tanjug on Saturday that ''we should not be divided over the issue

province, becoming its member.'' ''Instead of being divided over the
issue of EU membership, it is of utmost importance that as a state and
nation we clearly and in a united manner define our goal, this being
that only a unified Serbia can be a member of three, for us, major

the legal bases for his presence in the province, nor in which capacity
he is addressing Belgrade,'' Ristivojevic told Tanjug.
