Students in blockade in Serbia have published a Memorandum on Kosovo and Metohija, adopted in Kragujevac as an expression of their “united will” and historical responsibility toward both past and future generations. The document states that Kosovo and Metohija are an “inalienable and integral part of the Republic of Serbia,” presenting this not only as a constitutional category, but also as a historical and moral imperative.
The memorandum argues that preserving Serbia’s constitutional order in Kosovo and Metohija is essential for the survival of the Serbian state and for a just peace in the region. It also frames Kosovo not only as a territorial question, but as part of Serbian national, cultural and historical identity. The students connect this position with cultural heritage, collective memory and the symbolic role of Kragujevac as a city linked to modern Serbian statehood.
At the same time, the document says that the Kosovo issue cannot be resolved in isolation. The students call for Serbia to work actively and constructively with relevant international organizations, seeking a sustainable solution within the framework of Serbia’s Constitution and with respect for international law. Their stated goal is a model that would ensure peace, security and full protection of the rights of people living on that territory.
The memorandum also says the issue concerns all citizens of Serbia, not only institutions or political actors. According to the students, the connection to Kosovo and Metohija does not come only from citizenship, but from its place in Serbian history and culture. They describe the preservation of Kosovo and Metohija as a shared foundation of their efforts and as part of Serbia’s future among equal nations in the world.
