Petkovic said that the representative of the provisional institutions in Pristina, Albin Kurti, openly announced yesterday in front of the entire international community that he wants conflicts in the north of Kosovo and Metohija and that he plans to take new steps in order to escalate the situation in the four Serb municipalities.

"The arsonist Kurti is doing it by brutally trampling all the agreements from Brussels, with the message that he has no intention of forming the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO). At a time when the international community has never been more vocal in calling for the formation of the ZSO, Kurti is announcing even more convincingly that he is not interested in this key obligation of Pristina. It would be better for Kurti to start immediately with the formation of the ZSO and respect the agreement, rather than hurrying with a unilateral decision to call special elections in the four municipalities in the north of Kosovo and Metohija and by threats to fill police positions north of the Ibar," Petkovic said in a statement.

This behavior of Albin Kurti is his new attack on the four municipalities in the north that he is systematically trying to destabilize with unilateral and illegal moves, it is added. According to Petkovic, Kurti and his mentors know this equally well.

"No word in the agreement gives Kurti the right to fill police positions in the north of the Kosovo and Metohija with Albanian policemen, nor to make unilateral decisions about special elections in the municipalities in the north where Serbs make up 95 percent of the population, who no longer want to suffer Albin Kurti's oppression. His manipulation of facts and numbers is futile, because neither the Serbs want Kurti's license plates, nor do they want his imposed elections, nor do they want Albanian police officers from the south, who have no place in the north of Kosovo and Metohija," said Petkovic.
