Pristina bans ministers from visiting KiM

BELGRADE - The Office for Kosovo-Metohija (KiM) stated that the Pristina authorities banned Serbian Minister without Portfolio in charge of KiM Aleksandar Vulin and Minister of Youth and Sports Vanja Udovicic from visiting KiM, adding that this time Serbia is prevented from helping best Serb students in the province to broaden their knowledge and talents.

“This time it is not only an ordinary ban on visiting Serbs in KiM imposed on the ministers of the Serbian government, but also a decision that prevents them from helping the best Serb students in the province to broaden their knowledge and talents,” the statement reads.

The Office for KiM called on the competent bodies and the international community to react and impede Pristina from discriminating students on a national basis thus violating the basic right to education of all Serb students of the Pristina University with the temporary seat in Kosovska Mitrovica.

Ministers Vulin and Udovicic were supposed to present the grants of the Fund for Young Talents to the best students of the final year of the Pristina University with the temporary seat in Kosovska Mitrovica on Tuesday.

These are six students of the Pristina University, who won the grants in a state competition for 1,200 best students of the final year at the universities founded by the Republic of Serbia for the 2013/2014 academic year.
