Brnabic: Pristina demonstrates force daily, Kurti wants an ethnically pure Kosovo

The President of the Serbian Assembly, Ana Brnabic, stated that the Pristina Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, wants to have an ethnically pure Kosovo and that his goal is to expel all Serbs, RTV reports.

"The situation is difficult, certainly distressing. It is hard to watch, let alone endure, if you are a member of the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija. Diplomacy is doing its job, Aleksandar Vucic is fighting, and we will soon know what we should do," Brnabic said while appearing on Pink in reference to Vucic's announcement yesterday that the state will present concrete demands and measures in the next 72 hours due to new arrests of Serbs in Kosovo.

She said that Pristina demonstrates force against the Serbian people in Kosovo on a daily basis.

When asked if the terror of Albin Kurti could be stopped, Brnabic emphasized that it is now clear to everyone, something that has been repeated so many times, that Kurti's only goal is to expel all Serbs from Kosovo.

"He wants to have an ethnically pure Kosovo, which is an integral part of the Republic of Serbia according to international law and the United Nations Charter. The whole world sees what is happening in Kosovo and Metohija, as does everyone in Serbia. I see that some, like certain NATO lobbyists, still have only praise for Albin Kurti, but I know what is happening behind the scenes, how this difficult and strenuous diplomatic struggle is being conducted, led by President Aleksandar Vucic, as well as Prime Minister Milos Vucevic and all relevant people in the government of the Republic of Serbia," Brnabic said.

She emphasized that it is a tough fight, but that we must try to do everything we can to preserve peace.

"We cannot abandon our people, and that is what Aleksandar Vucic clearly stated yesterday. I, too, am eagerly awaiting President Vucic’s public address and clear guidelines for us and the international community on how we will proceed with this issue," Brnabic said.
