The composition of the Serbian government – there is also the Albanian who does not recognize Kosovo as a state
The Serbian Parliament voted with 153 votes in favor of the new government led by Gjuro Macut. Among the ministers of the new government cabinet is also the Albanian who does not recognize Kosovo as a state. Demo Berisha – for Human and Minority Rights and Social Dialogue.
Demo Berisha, an Albanian originally from Peja and former Yugoslav army officer, is a well-known name to public opinion due to his outspoken stances against Kosovo’s independence.
Albanian MP in the Serbian Parliament, Shaip Kamberi, said yesterday that Demo Berisha’s proposal for minister is a serious blow to Albanians and unacceptable and shameful, as he is not a representative of human rights, but a symbol of the denial of the national and political identity of the Albanians of Kosovo and the Presevo Valley.
Demo Berisha states that he was born in Peja and now lives in Vojvodina, but does not recognize the Republic of Kosovo and that his homeland is Serbia. In an interview for Vojvodina televisions (RTV Panonia and Channel 9), he says that he completed primary school in Kosovo, while he then continued in Sarajevo, where he completed military school, then in Novi Sad, reports KosovaPress.
He says he was a member of the Yugoslav army and finished his career in the Serbian army, working for a long time in the military police.
