Petkovic: Pristina keeps on its legal and institutional violence against Serbs in Kosovo with the decision on special elections

The Office for Kosovo and Metohija Director Petar Petkovic indicated that with the unilateral decision to hold special elections in four Serbian municipalities in the north of Kosovo on the Feast of Saint Nicholas day, the Pristina authorities kept on carrying out legal and institutional violence against the Serbs, violating the item 11 of the Brussels Agreement, among other things, the Office for Kosovo and Metohija stated.

"This is another proof that Pristina has never even wanted institutional cooperation with the Serbs in Kosovo, but that they have only been trying to implement and complete their Great Albanian idea and exile the Serbs from their centuries-old hearths", Petkovic said.

As he pointed out, without Serbs and the Serbian people, elections for the Serbian municipalities had no meaning and as such were doomed to failure.

"This is a new attempt by Pristina to occupy northern Kosovo and Metohija while hiding behind some kind of election process at a time when Albin Kurti, Vjosa Osmani, and their henchmen are further raising tensions on the ground with their unilateral and illegal actions," Petkovic noted.

According to him, no amount of blackmail and threats would succeed in scaring the Serbs who left Pristina's institutions, and clearly stated that the only way for them to return was the establishment of the Community of Serb-majority municipalities and the abolition of illegal and unilateral decisions on the license plates.

"However, in Pristina, they only know about violent moves, threats, and the rattling of weapons, and that's why Kurti is now entering a new phase of confrontation with the Serbs, with a unilateral decision to conduct electoral actions in the north of Kosovo and Metohija, even though it is clear to everyone that such a procedure is futile because the Kosovan Serbs can no longer suffer the terror of Pristina and the violation of basic human rights," Petkovic concluded.
