Petkovic, who said came to the session of the Committee on Kosovo and Metohija to present the report of his Office, as well as everything that was discussed in Brussels and Ohrid, in this sense mentioned the leader of the Serb Movement Dveri Bosko Obradovic, the president of the Serb Party Zavetnici Milica Djurdjevic Stamenkovski, as well as deputies from the People's Party (NS, Narodna Stranka), while, according to him, deputies from the New DSS did not even appear at the Committee session.

"We witnessed a new instance of violent behavior and rampage of opposition representatives at the meeting of the Committee on Kosovo and Metohija. I came to present to the deputies (of the National Assembly) the report of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija and everything that we discussed during the last round of dialogue in Brussels, but also about all important matters, including both the EU proposal and the annex, i.e. the document on implementation that we discussed in Ohrid," Petkovic told reporters during a break in the Committee's meeting.

He added he had everything ready to talk openly and to answer all the questions of the members of the Committee on Kosovo and Metohija.

"Not even five minutes had passed after the beginning of the session, Drecun as the chairman of the Committee had not even declared it had started, when Bosko Obradovic, Milica Djurdjevic Stamenkovski, Jeremic's (NS) deputies started to shout, to insult, to outvote Drecun, to stand up, to create chaos demanding some kind of addition to the daily agenda, and all in order to repeat the scenario from the special (Assembly) session on Kosovo and Metohija," said Petkovic.

He recalled that at that special session, which was attended by President Aleksandar Vucic, the same political organizations, according to him wanted to cause violence and complete chaos.

"These representatives of the opposition are not interested in the topic of Kosovo and Metohija, what is being negotiated in Brussels, nor the Serb people in Kosovo and Metohija," said Petkovic and added that today "all the lies of Bosko Obradovic, Milica Djurdjevic Stamenkovski and deputies from the People's Party have been exposed."

Petkovic says that the fact that the session was closed to the public bothered the opposition, and asked if he is supposed to reveal Belgrade's plans to Albin Kurti.

"Am I supposed to endanger the lives of our people in Kosovo? You see every day what is happening and how Pristina is trying to expel Serbs from Kosovo," said Petkovic. He added that he was there to answer all questions, and repeated that it will never be allowed for so-called Kosovo to become a member of the UN.

"And because we have a clear conscience and because we fight day and night and prepare for every meeting, I can look everyone in the eye and say what I am doing and in what way President Aleksandar Vucic is fighting to protect this country, to preserve peace stability and constitutional order," Petkovic stressed.

Petkovic believes that the reason for such behavior by the opposition is that he "spoiled their plans."

"Stamenkovski requested that a committee meeting be convened urgently. I immediately responded to Milovan Drecun's invitation and came with all the papers, and when I showed up, it was obvious that they were perlexed," said Petkovic and added that the opposition called a press conference in advance, where they wanted to talk about Kosovo and Metohija not being discussed.
