Petkovic: Pristina continues police occupation of northern Kosovo

Pristina continues the police occupation of northern Kosovo and, for this purpose, has now designated a seized building in Kosovska Mitrovica, which previously housed the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, the Pension and Disability Insurance (PIO) Fund, the Kosovska Mitrovica Administrative District, and the Vucitrn Social Work Center, the Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petkovic, announced.

He stated that this building in the Bosniak Mahala had been "illegally and forcibly seized from the Serbs with long guns on August 30."

"The workers, who spent their lives providing services to everyone equally, were evicted from their workplaces, and now Kurti's police have moved into the building. Furthermore, this illegal decision was made by Kurti’s illegitimate municipal councilors, for whom not a single Serb voted in the elections. The decision is directly aimed against the Serbian people in northern Kosovo and Metohija and represents another move by Albin Kurti that violates the Brussels Agreement, as Kurti’s monoethnic police have no legal right to be in the northern part of the province under any provision of this document," the statement emphasizes.

Petkovic added that "this entire process is unfolding before the eyes of the international community."

"They are silently witnessing the militarization of northern Kosovo and Metohija by Kurti's police, who are carrying out terror and tyranny, shooting at Serbs, beating Serbian children, brutally arresting Serbian youth, and using all available means to intimidate the Serbian people," Petkovic concluded in the statement.
