Garic: Kurti wants to make the CSM pointless with the special police in the north

After yesterday's shooting by the Kosovo police near the Bistrica bridge on the Zvecan - Leposavic road and the wounding of Miljan Delevic, the editor of the Kosovo Online portal Milos Garic said on Pink TV channel that by installing special police units in the north, where they had never been before, Albin Kurti wanted to break the resistance of the Serbs and achieve concrete supremacy on the ground, beyond all agreements and dialogues.

"He wants to turn things completely in his favor in the northern areas, where the Albanians have always wanted to be present and occupy that part of Kosovo as well. They did not manage to do that even during the rule of the KLA commanders. In this way, Kurti managed to make confusion among Serbs to a certain extent, along with the campaign to criminalize Serbs, and the constant strengthening of Pristina's military readiness is worrying," Garic pointed out.

He pointed out that Kurti wanted to devalue the CSM if he had to form it because he wanted to reduce it to a level without executive powers.

Kurti, Garic adds, wants to let the Serbs in the north know that he is the boss, to force them to move, to leave their houses and land, because his idea, like that of all extreme Albanians, is an ethnically pure Kosovo and making of "Greater Albania", which is part of the program of the Self-Determination movement, of which he is the leader.

The problem, he says, is that international representatives tolerate it and even directly help Kurti in that.

Garic emphasized that Kurti installed several false representatives of the Serbian community in his government, saying that "they are integrated Serbs, and that all the others are criminals who should be dealt with all might."

"He found a catch on how to implement it and get away with it," Garic pointed out.

He underlined that the CSM was of essential importance for the survival of the Serbs in Kosovo and that there was an ongoing attempt to reduce it to something that would not have the function provided by the Brussels Agreement and which was necessary for the Serbs.

"The whole pressure on Belgrade is on the CSM story. It turns out that everything that was agreed upon and signed needs to be agreed upon again, and it should look like they did us a favor by making it happen with the Albanians. It is an attempt at obvious fraud. The CSM can only be formed according to the Brussels Agreement's provisions. The only way to ensure the future of the Serbs in Kosovo is the CSM, and the Albanians are trying in every way to prevent that," Garic says.
