SERBIA TO SUE UN OVER PRIVATIZATION IN KOSOVO
FoNet - December 20, 2003

Belgrade - The chairman of the (Serbian government) Coordination Centre for Kosovo-Metohija, Nebojsa Covic, has said that he will file a lawsuit with the International Court against UNMIK officials responsible for the manner in which the privatization, which Covic describes as "robbery", is being conducted in the southern Serbian province, the Democratic Alternative (DA, Covic's party) said in a statement issued today.

Visiting the village of Gorazdevac near Pec today, Covic urge its people to be "united" because "that is the only way to resist against the enemy who wants to ethnically cleanse the area".

"We have to strive to save our health and education institutions in Kosovo-Metohija and the priority is to preserve Kosovo within Serbia," Covic said.
