Institutions in Pristina last banned Petar Petkovic from entry on Tuesday. He is the director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija of the Government of Serbia and has not been able to visit Kosovo and attend a celebration at the Visoki Decani monastery.

On that occasion, a spokesman of the European Union, Peter Stano, called on Pristina to reconsider the decision banning Petkovic from entering Kosovo, and to allow that visit.

"We know that Mr. Petkovic's visit was adequately announced and in accordance with the agreement on official visits. We invite Kosovo to reconsider its decision and allow this visit," Stano told Tanjug.
