Government Calls for Serb Refuguees' Return to Kosovo

The Kosovo government urged Serb refugees Friday (25 February) to return to their homes in the province. In a statement, the cabinet emphasised that the Albanian community should create conditions for free movement of Serbs and other minorities. It also said monuments and religious facilities were part of Kosovo's culture and history and must be protected, regardless of which community they belong to. Meanwhile, Kosovo's Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj announced that the preparations on Pristina's side for future talks with Belgrade on missing persons have been completed.
