The director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petkovic, spoke after "Vjosa Osmani's latest lament" which he says "confirms that the extremist elite in Pristina is not capable of realizing that the time when Kurti and his associates were allowed to do anything they want is gone for good," and that the EU "does not looks favorably on their attempts to destabilize the region."

"The indignation of Vjosa Osmani over to the resolute demands that were put before Pristina is partly understandable, because the sponsors of self-proclaimed 'Kosovo' were in the past ready to tolerate any irresponsible action of the extremist political elite in Pristina, but the world is changing, and so are the stakes and rules of policies on the Western Balkans.

Instead of realizing this in Pristina, and immediately doing everything to de-escalate the situation in the north of Kosovo and Metohija and return things to their previous state, and then enable the formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO), they are doing the opposite, and now, they are not only threatening Serbs and Serbia, they are already threatening all others in the region who resist Kurti's Greater Albanian project.

In the past, so-called Kosovo was a restless baby of the West, which was allowed to run wild, but that era is over, and it is good that the EU realized that leniency towards Pristina has gone too far and could have unfathomable and tragic consequences.

Serbia, led by President Aleksandar Vucic, will continue to work in a sincere and consistent manner to stabilize the situation in the region and to consolidate peace where Kurti wishes for conflicts, and open space for cooperation and progress where Kurti wishes for war and regression," the Office for Kosovo and Metohija said in a statement.
