Petkovic: By evicting Serbs from their apartments in the north, Kurti is implementing a policy of ethnic cleansing

The Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petkovic, assessed that the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, is not resting and continues to implement his policy of ethnic cleansing, with the decision to evict Serbs from their apartments and settle Albanians in the north of Kosovo.

"Kurti is not resting, he is doing everything to continue his policy of ethnic cleansing, and this decision, which implies that Serbs are moving out of their apartments, is in that sense," Petkovic pointed out for RTS.

Petkovic explained that the Kosovo Verification Agency sent notices to the Serbs who own apartments and who bought those apartments decades ago from companies like Trepca, with a request to move out, stating that if they don't do so, they will be forcibly evicted.

As he says, the Office for Kosovo and Metohija has sent letters to numerous addresses.

"We are doing everything through diplomatic channels to stop that decision, but I have to say that this agency was founded contrary to the agreement from Brussels, which meant that people from Belgrade, Pristina and the EU would sit in it. They are now unilaterally implementing decisions to evict Serbs and settle Albanians, which is being done together with fake Albanian mayors," said Petkovic.

He states that it is about more than 100 families, more precisely about 150 of them.

"Pristina does not implement the decisions made in favor of the Serbs because even before the UNMIK agency, there are more than 29,000 requests to return property to the Serbs south of the Ibar. These requests are not acted upon, but the requests of the Albanians are acted upon," he said.

As he says, Belgrade pursues a policy of peace and seeks to preserve the Serbian people in Kosovo.

"We will look for solutions, we will insist on dialogue, we will insist on the formation of the CSM, but everything that is happening must stop," said the director of the Government Office.

When it comes to the economy, as Petkovic states, Serbia will do everything to help its people, but in terms of security, the responsibility is on KFOR and the international community to, as he points out, stop the madness of Albin Kurti.

When asked where the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina is now, Petkovic points out that Belgrade is always ready for dialogue, and that Kurti is the one who does not want it and who does not want to form the CSM.

"When we receive an invitation from Brussels, we are ready to respond, we also expect Lajcak in Belgrade," said Petkovic.
