Serbia has changed its mind and has decided to send an official to Oslo, Norway for this year's Nobel Peace Prize ceremony on December 10, according to the Balkan Insight website.
Ombudsman Sasa Jankovic will travel to Oslo as Prime Minister Mirko Cvetkovic's envoy, to attend the ceremony honoring Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo.
The prime minister's cabinet said the decision to send an envoy to the ceremony is in line with the expectations of the Serbian public.
The director of Belgrade's Humanitarian Law Center, Natasa Kandic, said President Boris Tadic should stand up and admit the decision was "shameful."
"Tadic should say that the shameful decision on the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony was not in accordance with Serbia's proclaimed policy of respecting human rights and fighting against their violation," Kandic said.
