Petkovic: Kurti to immediately free Pantic and withdraw special forces with long pipes from the north

The barricades in the north of Kosovo and Metohija mean freedom for Serbs and represent their peaceful resistance to the lawlessness of Albin Kurti and his Greater Albanian extremists, whose only goal is ethnically pure Kosovo and Metohija, the director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petkovic, said in a statement.

The announcement further states that "it would be good for Kurti to be in coordination with himself and immediately release Dejan Pantic, to withdraw the police special forces with long guns from the north of Kosovo and Metohija who cannot be present there, as well as to cancel the lists for persecution and the arrest of Serbs".

"And certainly to fulfill Pristina's obligation and form the Community of Serb-majority Municipalities. KFOR's task is not, as Kurti thinks, to coordinate actions against Serbs with it or to remove barricades, but rather to guarantee the safety of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija in accordance with the entrusted mandate. Kurti does not think of removing the barricades with violence, because they were originally set up as a response to violence, and any new violent move on Kurti's part would threaten to cause an escalation that could not be controlled," Petkovic said.

The Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija stated that "it was time for Kurti's spiral of violence to be ended and for Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, the most endangered national group on the soil of modern Europe, to be enabled to live in normal conditions and without constant fear of violence and terror".
