At the promotion of project and cadastral documentation handing over, scanned cadastral data for municipalities Supkovac, Kosovo Polje and Bandulic, which are covered by the pilot project funded by the EU with three million EUR, were handed.

Republic Geodetic Authority Director Zoran Krejovic handed today to the representative of the European Union in Kosovo Samuel Zbogar scanned cadastral data for municipalities Supkovac, Kosovo Polje and Bandulic, which are covered by the pilot project funded by the EU with three million EUR.

Minister without portfolio in charge of Kosovo and Metohija Aleksandar Vulin stated that today`s event is result of the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina.

“One of the most important issues for citizens is issue of property rights and cadastral documentation will help in particular Serbs from Kosovo to fight for their rights”, said Vulin.

Serbia will respect agreements

Vulin stressed that the Government of Serbia will implement all reached agreements and respect them completely.

Director General of the European Commission`s Directorate General for Enlargement Christian Danielssonassessed that the handing of cadastral documentation clearly contributes to the normalisation of the relations between Belgrade and Pristina and the EU fully supports that.

Danielsson stated that the documents will provide concrete benefits to citizens in Kosovo and said that without cadastre there are no investments, development and modernisation.

He said that Zbogar will hand digital documents received in Belgrade to authorities in Pristina.

Zbogar underlined that the ideas need to be put on paper, and the paper in reality in order to improve lives of citizens in Kosovo.

However life cannot be if people are killed on their doorstep, like councillor Janicijevic, which shows that we are still far from the normal life, indicated Zbogar.

Great progress

Zbogar said great results have been achieved in the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, such as exchange of liaison officers, establishment of crossing, collection of customs duties, agreement of police, and agreement on judiciary is expected.

According to him, local elections took place and nine Serbian mayors were elected.

Krejovic said that collected data from Krusevac are scanned and digitalised.

Project, funded by the EU, started in August last year and will be completed by August 2015 and 12,000 pages, 130,000 photo sketches and 7,400 plans should be scanned.
