Kosovo Police in front of the Serbian Post Office premises in Priluzje, Kostic: A show of force on Ascension Day

The Kosovo Police are currently stationed in front of the building that until recently housed the Serbian Post Office in Priluzje, along with a vehicle of the Kosovo Post and several individuals believed to be workers, the Mayor of Vucitrn, Milan Kostic, confirmed for Kosovo Online.

“They are clearly opening the Kosovo Post office. I see workers there fixing the doors. You can’t get close, they won’t allow it, the police are out front,” Kostic said.

He emphasized that this is happening on a major Serbian holiday – Ascension Day.

“Right at the time when people were leaving church, they are doing this, for people to witness a show of force and to spread fear. That is what they are doing, that is their plan,” Kostic said, adding:

“Wherever there was a Serbian post office or anything Serbian, they try to convert it into something Kosovan and provoke the people so that they move away,” Kostic said.

He noted that two patrols of the Kosovo Police Special Units are stationed at the entrance to the village, which he assumes are there to intervene in case of public unrest.
