Albin Kurti and those implementing his plan of ethnic cleansing in Kosovo and Metohija will not calm down as long as there is a single Serb left in the southern Serbian province, and this is confirmed by Monday's arrest of Zivorad N. in Kosovska Mitrovica, a man who together with many hundreds of Serbs was previously expelled from Vucitrn, the Office for Kosovo and Metohija of the Government of Serbia has announced.

"He found his peace in Mitrovica, where he for years worked as a vendor in a local market, only to now be arrested on charges of allegedly committing a war crime. It seems that Zivorad and people like him cannot be forgiven for deciding to stay in Kosovo and Metohija, despite all the horrors that he and his fellow citizens of Serb ethnicity experienced in Vucitrn.

In the end, Kurti, and his inquisition-like 'justice' for war crimes will also prosecute those who were not yet even born during the conflict in Kosovo and Metohija, because in his eyes all Serbs are criminals and worthy of persecution just because they are members of the Serb nation," the Office added.

"Dozens of Serbs were arrested in the past on suspicion of allegedly committing war crimes, only for it to shortly after turn out that they were guilty just because someone had an eye on their property or because they at some point side-eyed someone. This kind of judicial lynching and intimidation of people is not happening anywhere in Europe, except in Kosovo and Metohija, and if anyone thinks that Serbs, who survive there despite all the violence and pressure from Kurti's regime, will leave their homes with their heads held low, they do not know the first thing about Serbs," a statement continued.

The Office said that they demand from the international community to finally begin to guarantee the minimum human and civil rights and conditions for a dignified life to the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, and to prevent criminals from Pristina from arresting and harassing people without evidence.

"The Office for Kosovo and Metohija has provided the arrested Serb with a lawyer, and will provide him, as it did in similar cases in the past, with all the necessary support and assistance," the statement added.

The Kosovo police announced earlier in the day that they arrested a Serb, Z.N. (70), in the northern part of Kosovska Mitrovica, on suspicion that he had allegedly committed a war crime.

A statement said he was arrested for "a war crime against the civilian population - sexual violence" allegedly committed in 1999 in the municipality of Vucitrn.
