Office for Kosovo and Metohija: Kosovo police seized Serbian flags on Christmas Eve

Members of Kurti's Kosovo police searched this afternoon, right on Christmas Eve, at the entrance to the Serbian village of Gornje Kusce, Serbs and their cars in search of Serbian flags. One of the Serbs they stopped was forcefully deprived of his Serbian flag, according to a statement from the Office for Kosovo and Metohija.

The statement emphasizes that "Kurti's phalanxes deliberately tried to provoke an incident and intimidate Serbs on one of the most important Serbian religious holidays, aiming to prevent their Christmas celebrations, fully aware that Serbs carry the Serbian banner during Christmas Eve."

"As usual, Kurti and his regime in Pristina use major Serbian holidays to stir interethnic tensions and send a message to Serbs that there is never peace for them in Kosovo and Metohija, so that they cannot celebrate Christmas peacefully and without worries. Serbian tricolors threaten no one, on the contrary, and Christmas Eve and Christmas are precisely the days that Serbs celebrate with their loved ones, which does not suit the regime in Pristina. Kurti will not prevent Serbs from celebrating Christmas appropriately, nor from carrying Serbian tricolors because Serbian identity is always and forever carried in the heart, something he and his quasi-Serbs will never understand," states the Office for Kosovo and Metohija.
