It is illusory and extremely unrealistic to expect that Serbs can achieve anything more in Kosovo through the use of force. We can only subsist with the help of diplomacy and wisdom. Every use of force leads only to further extinction of Serbs in Kosovo. And I am afraid that that is the policy of the regime in Belgrade. Registration and elections are out of the question until the expelled Serbs have returned to Kosmet.
Today there is no one there to register.
Only a third of Serbs who lived in Kosmet up to March of last year remain, while two-thirds are scattered throughout Serbia and Montenegro. It is clear that this position on our part will not prevent the international community from conducting registration and elections but they will have to do so without us. In any case, I would like to say that Vidovdan is the milestone of every Serb, that without Vidovdan, without the Kosovo gospel, which is the commitment to the Kingdom of Heaven, to eternal ideals, to the honorable Cross and golden liberty, that without these ideals there will be no Serbia and there will be no Serbs.
