Pantic-Pilja: The CE Parliamentary Assembly should be aware of the increase in violence against Serbs in Kosovo by Albanians

The Serbian Head delegation, Biljana Pantic-Pilja, said at the session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, where tensions between Kosovo and Serbia were discussed today, that the Assembly should first of all be aware of the increase in violence in Kosovo by Albanians against Serbs.

"In today's discussion in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on the topic of increasing tensions between Pristina and Belgrade, as the head of the Serbian delegation, I pointed out that the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, which deals with human rights, should be aware of the increase in violence in Kosovo and Metohija by Albanians against the Serbs. While listing the recent incidents, I asked the members of the Assembly if they were referring to those tensions and that I did not hear them as great fighters for human rights to condemn the attacks on the Serbs," Pantic-Pilja said.

She said that Serbia was committed to dialogue, but Pristina must respect all signed agreements.

"The most important thing is to establish the Community of Serb-majority Municipalities, as well as to prevent ethnic attacks on Serbs. Or maybe their goal is the final extermination of Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija? Respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty is key to peace. Long live Serbia," Pantic-Pilja underlined.
