Kosovo refugees protest in Kraljevo

About 200 refugees from Kosovo spent the night in the city park after refusing to move into the new residents. They said that these buildings have no water, electricity, not even doors and windows. They spent this summer in schools in various villages around Kraljevo, but since the school year begins tomorrow, they had to evict and move to new buildings. The Serbian Commission for Refugees said that these buildings will be adapted to accommodate these people, but they said that they will move in after this is done, and not before. UNHCR said that these buildings couldn't be adapted in time because local authorities refused to give permission for that. Minister of education said that an agreement was made for these people to evict by August 20th. He also said on a press conference that the children refuge from Kosovo can attend schools only on Kosovo territory and only when these schools are booked they can attend schools in other parts of Serbia.
