Bill > HR6411

This bill, titled the Preshevo Valley Discrimination Assessment Act, directs the Secretary of State to prepare a report within 180 days on the treatment of ethnic minorities in Serbia, specifically focusing on the Preshevo Valley region. The report must detail issues such as the "passivation" or deactivation of registered addresses for ethnic Albanians, which could prevent them from renewing identification documents and exercising basic rights like voting. It will also examine whether Serbia fails to proportionally integrate ethnic Albanians into public institutions, neglects to recognize diplomas from Kosovo, restricts the use of the Albanian language in public and on personal documents, hinders the provision of Albanian language textbooks, provides insufficient central government grants to Albanian-majority municipalities, suppresses ethnic symbols, uses law enforcement to intimidate ethnic Albanians without cause, offers inadequate support for Albanian language media and cultural activities, considers mandatory military service for ethnic Albanians, and takes measures to deliberately increase poverty or make life unsustainable for ethnic Albanians in the Preshevo Valley. The report will be submitted to relevant House and Senate committees and can include a classified annex if needed.
