Earlier today, Abdixhiku wrote on Twitter that it was an unprecedented, inhumane and flagrant violation of a regional agreement on green corridors during the battle against the Covid-19 virus, agreed to by the Western Balkans 6.

In an unprecedented move during pandemics Serbian authorities have blocked all freight forwarders (transport operators) coming from Kosovo. This an inhumane and a flagrant breach of regional agreement on green corridors during COVID19 fight, that all WB6 countries have agreed on.— Lumir Abdixhiku (@Abdixhiku) April 21, 2020

The Office for Kosovo and Metohija (KiM) responded by pointing out that this is fake news aimed at discrediting Serbia.

"Some media and political circles, with the aim of discrediting Serbia, today spread fake news about blocking the passage of trucks traveling toward central Serbia (from Kosovo). It is not the first fake news of its kind lately, but we expect it to be the last, because the pandemic should not be used a source of propaganda and lies directed against cooperation in suppressing it," the Office said.
