Djuric: Aggressive moves by Kurti’s government are an attempt to undermine the collective rights and identity of Serbs in Kosovo

Today’s coordinated actions by Kurti’s government, targeting Serbian institutions in Kosovo Polje, Gracanica, Lipljan, Velika Hoca, Orahovac, Kusce, and numerous other enclaves, mark a dangerous escalation, Minister of Foreign Affairs Marko Djuric said.

Djuric emphasized that “these aggressive moves are not just an attack on institutions but a blatant attempt to undermine the collective rights and identity of Serbs in Kosovo.”

“It is evident that Kurti is using these provocations as part of his election campaign, disregarding human rights and flouting agreements that were meant to protect peace and coexistence. This strategy only deepens divisions and threatens stability in the region,” Djuric wrote on the social media platform “X.”

He added that the international community must not remain silent.

“By turning a blind eye, it risks endorsing actions that prioritize political agendas over basic human rights and the implementation of agreed-upon frameworks. We call on international stakeholders to condemn these actions publicly and unequivocally, demand immediate cessation of institutional targeting and protect the rights of Serbs in Kosovo. All parties must be held accountable for agreements that ensure peace and coexistence. The time to act is now. Silence is complicity,” Djuric concluded.

At the end of the post, Djuric tagged the EU Special Representative for the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue Miroslav Lajcak, EU Foreign Affairs Chief Kaja Kallas, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the European Commission, the UN Human Rights page, the OSCE, and the US Embassy in Kosovo.
