The issue of property restitution to Serbian citizens is one of the debts of the democratic government, believes Laszlo Varga. Apart from it being one of the prerequisites for Serbia’s European integration, it is even more important to legally resolve the great injustice and make sure that no one is discriminated against in the legal solutions as in certain cases it would be impossible to restore the seized property while in other cases cash indemnity would be the only solution, which would be less valuable. Therefore, stressed Varga, the serious public debate which will precede the adoption of the restitution law is essential.
