According to the Tanyug news agency, on March 26, 2004, the Assembly of the Republic of Serbia adopted a special resolution on Kosovo and Metohija, which put forward a number of requirements for representatives of the international community and determined the main provisions for solving the region's problem. The adopted resolution says in particular:
“The Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, their property, Serbian shrines, the whole of Serbia and the state union of Serbia and Montenegro, were once again subjected to massive and organized violence by Albanian separatists and terrorists ...
Based on the need for the participation of the Serbian people, all citizens and state bodies in protecting the most important national and state interests, the Assembly of Serbia, as the highest representative body of Serbian citizens, puts forward the following positions and requirements:
1. The pogrom of the Serb population in Kosovo and Metohija from March 17 to 19, 2004 is a consequence of the unwillingness of UNMIK and KFOR to fulfill their responsibilities in accordance with Resolution 1244 of the UN Security Council. This is a direct result of the transfer of powers from the international administration to the provisional authorities of Kosovo.
2. The Albanian population also behaved hostilely towards the Serbs after the arrival of a civil and military mission in the Krai in June 1999, as evidenced by the huge number of killings, arson and constant threats aimed at forcibly expelling Serbs from the Krai.
Therefore, it is clear that the events of March 17-19 are not unexpected, and the greater the responsibility of the international peacekeeping forces seems to be.
3. Along with the increase and better organization of the international security forces, we demand from the international community that it conduct a vigorous investigation of the crimes committed and punish the participants in organized violence.
We also demand that houses, churches and monasteries be immediately restored so that life will return to them and the futility of their plans will be clearly shown to the Albanian terrorists.
4. The recent massive organized acts of violence by the Albanians against the Serbs, through which ethnic cleansing was carried out and the stability of the entire region was endangered, unequivocally push the conclusion of the need to revise and change the entire UN policy in the province.
5. At the same time, the provisions of international law must be respected, and, first of all, the provision on immutability of borders, as well as Resolution No. 1244 of the UN Security Council.
6. The Serbian government undertakes to prepare a proposal for a political solution to the current situation in Kosovo and Metohija. This proposal must necessarily be based on the following provisions:
a) Kosovo and Metohija are an inseparable part of Serbia and the state union of Serbia and Montenegro.
b) Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija must have new institutional guarantees for their position and better protection of their rights.
c) Serbia must ensure the life, security and return of the Kosovo-Metochian Serbs.
7. Our state, both in accordance with its laws and international conventions, must protect cultural and historical monuments and religious sites in the Region. The burning of Serbian churches and monasteries during the latest wave of violence once again showed the desire of Albanian terrorists and separatists to change the cultural and historical picture in Kosovo and Metohija.
Therefore, it is necessary, along with the proposal for a political solution, to formulate effective forms of protection, some of which are contained in Resolution 1244 of the UN Security Council. "
“This resolution is addressed to our citizens, relevant organizations and the entire world community, from which we expect the understanding and response required by the international fight against terrorism,” reads the Resolution adopted by the Assembly.
