"The arbitrary evaluation of the American ambassador in Belgrade, according to which Serbs are to blame for violence and criminalization in the territory, is a typical evaluation of a representative of the country which is the main advocate of the Albanians' unilateral and anti-legal decision to proclaim Albanian state in Serbia's territory," SNV says in a statement.
The SNV statement, signed by SNV President Milan Ivanovic, says that the disqualification of Serb representatives from northern Kosovo, who do not recognize the province's independence, is "avoidance of the issue and an attempt to amnesty Albanian extremists for violence, ethnic cleansing and pogrom of Serbs."
The SNV believes that KFOR and EULEX want to disclaim responsibility for the disastrous condition in the province, and calls on Serbian President Boris Tadic to dismiss the American Ambassador's attempt to interfere in Serbia's internal issues.
Serb people in Kosovo expect full support from Serbian authorities in joint fight to preserve Kosovo within Serbia that Serbs have been leading all these years by legal and democratic means, the statement says.
