JAGODINA -- Any census carried out fairly in Kosovo and Metohija will show that over 350,000 Serbs live in Serbia's province as well as slightly over one million ethnic Albanians and a considerable number of members of other ethnic groups, Zoran Andjelkovic, president of the province's provisional executive council, has said.
Anjelkovic was speaking in a news programme by the local television station Palma Plus in Jagodina, central Serbia, late on Thursday.
Commenting on reports that a census might be carried out in Kosovo and Metohija soon as well as the registration of voters, Andjelkovic said that he was confident that this was the reason why the ethnic Albanians had boycotted the 1981 and 1991 censuses, explaining that the two censuses would have made it impossible for them to manipulate figures.
He voiced confidence that those in charge of the census and registration of voters in Kosovo and Metohija would do their job correctly and that their figures would be in line with those released by Serbia years ago.
