In 2022, Serbs in Kosovo were targeted 150 times, and Kurti's government doubled the number of incidents

In 2022, 150 ethnically motivated incidents were recorded in Kosovo. On average, they happened almost every other day. The Serbs were physically attacked and arrested, houses of Serbian families were looted or KLA graffiti were written on them, church buildings were ransacked, and the patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church was forbidden to enter Kosovo.

Slightly fewer incidents - 128 were recorded in 2021, while in 2020, before the leader of Self-Determination, Albin Kurti came to power, there were 80, significantly less or almost twice less than in 2022.

The last month of last year will certainly be remembered for a series of unpleasant events. Miljan Adzic was arrested at the administrative crossing point on December 9 and sentenced to 30 days' detention without any legal basis. A day later, members of the Kosovo Police arrested Dejan Pantic at the Jarinje administrative crossing point, a police officer who had left the Kosovo institutions on November 5, and on December 15, Sladjan Trajkovic, who had also previously left the Kosovo Police, was arrested for alleged war crimes.

On December 11, ROSU members stormed the Gazivode dam with armored vehicles, fully armed, pointed their guns at worker V. K, tore up the Serbian flag, and chased him away from his workplace. On the same day, the Kosovo police harassed the worker of "Elektrokosmet" from the Zubin Potok, Milan Tomasevic, near the Gazivode lake dam, when he went to fix a malfunction. The police confiscated 42,000 liters of wine from the Petrovic family from Velika Hoca.

On December 25, the authorities in Pristina forbade the Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Porfirije, to come to the Patriarchate of Pec on Christmas Eve, and a day later returned him from the Merdare administrative crossing. On the same day, RTS journalist Svetlana Vukmirovic, who reported on the life of the Serbs in Kosovo, was also banned from entering Kosovo.

At the beginning of November, a group of Albanians threw a Molotov cocktail in front of the house of the Trajkovic family in Kisnica near Gracanica, which was the third attack on the Trajkovic family in the last two years.

Ljubomir Miric (55) was wounded in Gracanica on October 1. A few days later, the house of returnee Ilija Tosic from Osojan was ransacked and robbed.

On October 19, ROSU officers searched the vehicle of 20-year-old Serb N.T. in Zubin Potok and hit him several times in the area of the head and legs, without any reason. On October 20 an Albanian flag was placed at the door of the Cathedral Church of Christ the Saviour in Pristina.

In August, two grocery stores in Velika Hoca, owned by Bojan Pavlovic and Dusan Lukic, were robbed and goods and money were stolen, which was the second robbery in 2022 of the same facilities, and the perpetrators were not found. A hand grenade was thrown to the family house of Zoran Jovanovic in the multi-ethnic village of Mogila in the municipality of Vitini on July 11. 

Among just a few incidents during June, the arrest of Milorad Djokovic, a returnee from Vitomirica on suspicion of having allegedly committed war crimes; 11 houses of Serb returnees in the town of Klobukar near Novo Brdo were ransacked and looted; two young men of Serbian nationality, B.S. and V.D.  were attacked by an Albanian from Partesh, he attacked them with a knife and inflicted serious bodily injuries on them; the church office in Donja Gusterica was ransacked and looted; in the village of Gojbulja, the elementary school "21st Novembar" was stoned; on the fence of the plot of the Trajkovic family, in Kisnica near Gracanica, graffiti "KLA" was written.

Perhaps one of the most drastic examples of the actions of the Kosovo authorities is the half-year detention of Nikola Nedeljkovic, a young man from Belgrade who came to celebrate Vidovdan in Gazimestan. He was arrested there, and on charges of allegedly inciting hatred, he was imprisoned for six months.

Exactly one year ago, on Christmas Day 2021, a parish house in Vitomirica near Pec was stoned, and fully armed ROSU members raided and searched four Serbian houses in Strpac.

In 2021 and 2022, the director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petkovic, was prohibited from visiting Kosovo ten times.

Health workers from Novi Pazar who went on a tour of Prizren and young Serbian athletes from the Radan Volleyball Club from Lebane, who were supposed to perform at the Vidovdan tournament in Donja Gusterica were also banned from entering Kosovo. Others were also banned from entering Kosovo: the assistant director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Ivan Vujic, who was supposed to attend the celebration of Miholjdan in Velika Hoca, to the Minister of Innovation and Technological Development, Nenad Popovic, the president of the Commission on Missing Persons, Veljko Odalovic, the president of the Banja Luka Committee for Assistance to Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija, Milorad Arlov, Ministers in the Government of Serbia, Darija Kisic Tepavcevic, Branko Ruzic, Vanja Udovicic and Director of the Office for IT and eGovernment, Mihailo Jovanovic, they were supposed to attend the Vidovdan celebration.
