The Committee on Kosovo-Metohija held a sitting that started on 28 March and was continued on 4 April so as to be informed on the realisation of the conclusions adopted by the Committee on Kosovo-Metohija and forwarded to the Ministry of Kosovo-Metohija, at the sittings held on 25 October and 6 December 2010.

The sitting was chaired by Committee Chairman Ljubomir Kragovic and attended by the Minister of Kosovo-Metohija, Goran Bogdanovic and associates.

Considering that the material for the item on the agenda had been handed in at the sitting itself, the Committee members were unable to brief themselves on the information, so the Committee concluded to postpone the debate for 7 days.

The Committee unanimously adopted a conclusion to invite the Head of the Negotiating Team Borislav Stefanovic and his Deputy Vladimir Jovicic to one of the Committee sittings so that they may brief the Committee members on the dialogue with the provisional self-government authorities in Pristina.

Regarding the upcoming census of the Kosovo-Metohija population, the Committee urged the members of the Serbian and non-Albanian population not to participate in it and to boycott the popular census in AP Kosovo-Metohija organised by the provisional institutions of the Kosovo Government.

The Committee unanimously decided to inform the deputies about its conclusion.

In the continuation, on 4 April, the Committee members debated the information of the Ministry of Kosovo-Metohija on the companies and institutions working in the province in the last 10 years. Minister of Kosovo-Metohija Goran Bogdanovic said that all of Serbia’s investments into Kosovo-Metohija comply with the law and tenders were mandatory for all the work done there. He stressed that no one in the Ministry influenced the tenders for the construction and renovation of facilities in Kosovo financed by the republic budget. At the Committee members’ objection that several companies seem to be getting the majority of work in the Province, the Minister said that since he took over as head of the Ministry there have been no financial malversations or fixed tenders, adding that the Ministry of Kosovo-Metohija merely transfers the funds, and the tenders are called by local self-governments. A conclusion was adopted at the end of the debate to forward a report to the Committee on the effects of the stimulus funds in the period since the current Serbian Government was formed. The Committee also requested a higher engagement of state authorities in charge of investigating malversation in the Province.

Chairman Kragovic informed the Committee that deputies Ivan Jovanovic, Branko Ruzic, Slobodan Gojkovic, Dejan Nikolic, Radoslav Milovanovic, Miroslav Martic, Miletic Mihajlovic and Konstantin Arsenovic were elected deputy Committee members.
