Nojkic: The Serbs from Klokot and the surrounding areas are upset because of the inscription "KLA" on the school

Regarding the incident at the "Saint Sava" school in Klokot, on the walls of which the inscriptions "KLA", an offensive message to Serbia, and drawings of inappropriate content appeared on the walls yesterday morning, the President of the Provisional Authority in Klokot, Vladimir Nojkic, said that such incidents had a bad effect on citizens, especially the Serbs who wanted to stay in those areas.

He added that the residents of the surrounding areas were also upset and that the authorities should react and find the perpetrator.

"Until now, the people here have lived normally. After yesterday's incident, the people are upset, both the residents of Klokot and those from the surrounding villages. The politics of Pristina manifests itself in other areas as well. Where we have lived normally until now, suddenly there is an incident, an oversight. I think that the competent authorities should determine the perpetrator and why it was done," Nojkic told Kosovo Online.

Given that Klokot is a multi-ethnic village, he points out that the situation was normal, and that so far there have been no major problems.

"Until now, we have not had any serious problems or incidents like this, but this affects people, especially the Serbs who live here and want to stay in this area," he warned.

The secretary of the "Saint Sava" school, Srdjan Nikolic, told Kosovo Online that the school's assistants had been the first to see the graffiti and removed it, so as not to spread fear among the students.

He assessed that such unpleasant events had a bad effect on the coexistence of the Serbs and the Albanians.

"Yesterday, around 8:30 a.m., when the auxiliary workers came to their workplaces, they noticed graffiti with inappropriate content. In order not to scare the children, they decided to erase the graffiti. They called the school Director and me and informed us about what happened," Nikolic said.

He emphasized that the children, as well as the employees, had been disturbed by the incident.

"The situation itself dictates the pace of life and order in Kosovo and Metohija. The parents were also upset, but now they have calmed down a little," Nikolic points out.

He says that, unfortunately, the Serbs are used to such inconveniences, but that every incident like this hits them even harder.

"Painting graffiti does not have a good effect on the coexistence of us and the Albanians. We are in favor of building peace for further life and the future," Nikolic said.

Assistant worker and security guard Zarko Tomic told Kosovo Online yesterday that he had been graffiti "KLA" and an insulting message to Serbia early in the morning when he had been checking the school.

More than 70 students from Klokot, from preschool age to 8th grade, attend "Saint Sava" Elementary School.
