Serbia-Montenegro (SCG) Foreign Ministry qualified on Wednesday the draft law on
religious freedom as a regulation which opposes to such freedom, and voiced
expectation that if adopted, UNMIK chief Seren Jessen-Petersen would prevent its
implementation.
"The draft bill proclaims Kosovo's state religion, and points to the fact that
all dignitaries of the church have to be the citizens of Kosovo," the statement
said, underscoring that the draft bill was directly aimed against the Serbian
Orthodox Church.
