Office for Kosovo and Metohija: The beating of Subotic is proof that Pristina uses "Gestapo methods" of violence against Serbs

The Office for Kosovo and Metohija announced that the recent beating of Milos Subotic, a Serb from Kosovska Mitrovica, at a police station once again confirms that Pristina is now routinely using Gestapo-like methods of intimidation and violence against members of the Serbian community.

They warn that excessive use of force and police torture have long been part of daily life in northern Kosovo.

“It is clear that the acts of violence and torture against Serbs have only one aim – intimidation to facilitate the expulsion and ethnic cleansing of the northern part of the province,” the statement reads.

The Office for Kosovo and Metohija stated that Serbia will continue systematically documenting all attacks on Serbs, as justice must ultimately reach those responsible.

They also emphasize that the international presence in Kosovo has an obligation, in line with international law and regulations that should apply on the ground, to prevent torture of Serbs and increasingly blatant human rights violations against the Serbian people.

“In the coming weeks, a new six-month UNMIK report on the situation in Kosovo and Metohija will be reviewed before the United Nations Security Council, and Serbia will take this opportunity to draw global attention to all forms of physical and legal violence carried out against Serbs by the regime of Albin Kurti,” the statement concludes.
