MR. STANKOVIC: WE ARE AWAITING A PROPOSAL OF THE ALBANIANS FOR THEIR FLAG AND COAT OF ARMS

29. November 2017.

Belgrade – Zoran Stankovic, the President of the Coordination Body of the Government of the Republic of Serbia for the Municipalities of Presevo, Bujanovac and Medvedja, said that the government had earlier offered to the  Albanians in South Serbia to choose their national symbols, but that no response to the offer had been received yet.

“We offered to the Albanian national minority to choose their national symbols, which must be different from those of the parent state.  Unfortunately, they failed to do that, "Mr. Stankovic said.

"Our task in the coming period is to make it operational in the proper way and that they themselves, upon proposing their national symbols, do that, so that we could, thus, take the issue off the agenda,” Mr. Stankovic said on the occasion of the celebration of the Day of the Albanian Flag in the municipalities of Presevo and Bujanovac.
