Petkovic: Pristina has no legal capacity for military alliances, they do not represent a state but a temporary provisional entity

The Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petkovic, stated that, under international law, the authorities in Pristina have no legal capacity to enter into any defense alliances because they do not represent a state but, as their name suggests, a temporary legal provisional entity.

Petkovic pointed out that the main issue with the Croatian-Albanian-Pristina trilateral pact is not only of a formal legal nature but also a serious security provocation aimed at destabilizing the region.

"Not only is Pristina not under threat, but for years it has been the one endangering Serbs and other non-Albanians in Kosovo and Metohija. Those who enter into this kind of contractual relationship with it are signaling their intent to help it continue its campaign of violence and oppression against those who refuse to recognize the violation of international law and the rule of force. When the separatist leader Vjosa Osmani claims that Albanians have never attacked anyone or attempted to seize part of another country's territory, she is not telling the truth, as she speaks on behalf of those who initiated an armed rebellion and attempted to create a state on the territory of Serbia’s southern province of Kosovo and Metohija," said Petkovic.

He added that it is clear that the recently signed trilateral document is not a defensive agreement but an explicit and aggressive threat.

"We have understood this message precisely in line with the intentions of the signatories. Serbia will present to its international partners—who constitute the overwhelming majority of UN member states and a significantly larger portion of humanity—the true intentions behind this trilateral pact. Serbia will continue to fight for peace and stability in the region, despite the wishes of those who seek different scenarios for the Balkans," Petkovic stated.
