<p>The UK is aware of recent reports of the removal of ethnic-Albanians in southern
Serbia from civil registries. Verifying these reports is complicated by high levels
of migration and lack of agreed population statistics, but our Embassy in Belgrade
is monitoring closely. Our Ambassador, with like-minded partners, has discussed with
the Serbian Government the importance of fundamental rights and freedoms in the context
of the forthcoming elections. We will continue to pursue this issue in the course
of discussions with relevant national and local authorities in Serbia, as part of
our ongoing work to promote and protect human and minority rights.</p>
