Petkovic on Albin Kurti's lawlessness: "His only goal is an ethnically clean Kosovo and Metohija"

KFOR's task is not, like Kurti thinks, to coordinate actions against Serbs with him or to remove the barricades, but to guarantee the safety of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija in accordance with the mandate entrusted to them

The barricades in the north of Kosovo and Metohija mean freedom for Serbs and represent their peaceful resistance to the lawlessness of Albin Kurti and his Greater Albania extremists, whose only goal is an ethnically clean Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petkovic, the director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, said on Monday.

"It would be good for Kurti to be in coordination with himself and to immediately release Dejan Pantic, to withdraw special police forces armed with rifles from the north of Kosovo and Metohija who have no right to be present there, as well as to abandon the lists for persecution and arrest of Serbs. And certainly to fulfill the obligation of Pristina and form the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO)," he said.

He added that KFOR's task is not, like Kurti thinks, to coordinate actions against Serbs with him or to remove the barricades, but to guarantee the safety of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija in accordance with the mandate entrusted to them.

"Let Kurti not even think of removing the barricades by force, because they were originally set up in response to violence, and any new violent move on Kurti's part would threaten to cause an escalation that would spin out of control.

It's time for Kurti's spiral of violence to be stopped and for the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, the most threatened national group on the soil of modern Europe, to live in normal conditions and without constant fear of violence and terror," said Petkovic.
