Starovic: Kurti is making up " invasion" in order to continue harassing Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija
"Let me repeat once again, loud and clear, the Serbian armed forces never entered the territory of Kosovo after 1999 and never will, until KFOR allows them to do so, as envisaged by UN Security Council Resolution 1244," said Starovic
Ministry of Defense State Secretary Nemanja Starovic said today that Prime Minister of the Pristina Provisional Institutions Albin Kurti is inventing stories about an "invasion" in order to continue tormenting and repressing Serbs who live in Kosovo and Metohija.

Petkovic: Kurti is main threat to region's security and stability
Reacting to a video posted by Kurti on Facebook, claiming that it shows special Serbian Army units a few meters from the administrative line (between Kosovo and Metohija and central Serbia), Starovic stressed that it actually showed a regular patrol that was there in close coordination with KFOR.
In a post on X, Starovic stated that a year and a half ago, Kurti carried out a military-style occupation of northern Kosovo, banned Serbs from voting in elections, imposed Albanian mayors in Serb towns, banned all Serbian goods from the market, and banned the Serbian currency, impoverishing and starving the most vulnerable members of the Serb community.
He added that all these unilateral discriminatory measures were tacitly approved by the international community, under the pretext of so-called "Kosovo sovereignty" - and pointed out that the presence of militarized mono-ethnic Albanian units of the Kosovo police in the north of Kosovo violates UN Resolution 1244, and the Brussels agreement.
"Let me repeat once again, loud and clear, the Serbian armed forces never entered the territory of Kosovo after 1999 and never will, until KFOR allows them to do so, as envisaged by UN Security Council Resolution 1244," said Starovic.
