Minister of Justice Maja Popovic commented on the latest activities of the so-called Kosovo authorities to say that she strongly condemns the latest political moves of Albin Kurti, who will not stop provoking the Serb people in Kosovo and Metohija.

"In a series of provocations, the banning of (Serbian Orthodox Church head) Patriarch Porfirije from visiting the Patriarchate of Pec is particularly shameless. Such activities of the so-called Kosovo authorities only confirm the already known fact that there is no political will to negotiate in peace," said Popovic.

"The message is again being sent to the Serbs that our shrines and believers have no place in Kosovo and Metohija, by banning the Serb religious leader from visit the center of the Serb spirituality in Kosovo and Metohija.

I expect that the international community will react and point out that the right to freedom of movement and religion are basic human rights and that they will condemn the activities of the so-called of the Kosovo authorities," said the minister of justice.
