Danijela Vujicic elected head of parliamentary committee on Kosovo-Metohija

BELGRADE - Danijela Vujicic from the Aleksandar Vucic - Serbia Must Not Stop electoral list was on Tuesday elected head of the Serbian parliamentary committee on Kosovo-Metohija.

Vujicic succeeds longtime chairman Milovan Drecun.

Aleksandar Pavic from the We, A Voice from the People - Branimir Nestorovic list was elected deputy head of the committee.

Thanking all those who had supported her candidacy, Vujicic said she viewed the Kosovo-Metohija issue in a pragmatic way as she lived in the territory.

Previously, opposition MP Srdjan Milivojevic said the events in Banjska needed to be discussed and Freedom and Justice Party MP Borko Stefanovic said the committee should debate many things, including the situation at the Council of Europe and the talks process.

Vujicic said it hurt her to see Kosovo-Metohija Serbs criminalised in one way or another by Pristina or the Serbian opposition.

"You will not hear ethnic Albanians condemn a ROSU attack in the north of the province or criticise Kurti for shots fired at a child in Strpce," Vujicic said.
