Barac: A humanitarian catastrophe threatens the Serbs in Kosovo, Brussels does not have a clear picture of how difficult the situation is

Srdjan Barac from the Center for Social Stability stated today that the picture is still not clear enough in Brussels or other European capitals regarding the true severity of the situation in Kosovo, where a humanitarian catastrophe is looming and the basic human and minority rights of Serbs are being violated, RTV reports.

Barac assessed that Western media does not always portray an accurate picture to the local public there.

"If the European or global public truly understood the situation on the ground, politicians would have to change their political agenda because it is very clear and evident that a humanitarian catastrophe threatens and that the basic human and minority rights of Serbs are being violated, thereby undermining the fundamental values on which the EU and the US are based," Barac says.

He also emphasizes the clear commitment of Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin Kurti to achieve de-escalation and that he is constantly creating chaos.

"In order to push the situation to the boiling point, which would result in a shift in the direction of unconditional support for the so-called statehood of Kosovo and himself from the Western political establishment or international community," Barac says.

On the other hand, he adds that there have been slight shifts in the Western political establishment or international community towards the situation on the ground and a slightly improved rhetoric towards Belgrade and Serbia.

"Above all, acknowledging the necessity to accept the social reality that Serbs living in Kosovo cannot lead a normal life and that such a situation must change. That is why Kurti wants to constantly engage in chaos or provoke it day by day, rather than focus on what the international community has outlined as a necessity, which is the establishment of the CSM. Albin Kurti seeks incidents and hopes to rally support to his side and to define both the Serbs living in Kosovo and the state of Serbia as opponents, thereby changing the policy and narrative that currently do not favor him," Barac concluded.
