Petkovic: Serbs in the north refuse Kurti's license plates, forced elections, and Albanian policemen from the south

The director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija of the Government of Serbia announced that "the representative of the temporary institutions in Pristina, Albin Kurti, openly announced today in front of the entire international community that he wants conflicts in the north of Kosovo and Metohija and that he plans to take new steps in order to escalate the situation in four Serbian municipalities".

"The arsonist Kurti is doing this by brutally trampling all the agreements from Brussels, with the message that he has no intention of forming the CSM. At a time when the international community is never more vocal about the formation of the Community of Serb-majority Municipalities, Kurti is even more convincingly announcing that he is not interested in this key obligation of Pristina. It would be better for Kurti if he urgently started forming the CSM and respected the agreement, rather than hurrying with a unilateral decision to call for special elections in four municipalities in the north of Kosovo and Metohija and threathening to fill police positions north of the Ibar", Petkovic said in a statement.

This behavior of Albin Kurti, it is added, is his new attack on four municipalities in the north, which he is systematically trying to destabilize with unilateral and illegal moves. Kurti, as well as his mentors, know that, Petkovic points out.

"Kurti has no right to fill the police positions in the north of Kosovo with Albanian policemen, nor to make unilateral decisions about special elections in municipalities in the north where Serbs make up 95 percent of the population, who will no longer suffer the yoke and oppression of Albin Kurti. His manipulation of facts and numbers is in vain, because neither the Serbs want Kurti's license plates, nor do they want his imposed elections, nor do they want Albanian policemen from the south, who have nothing to look for in the north of Kosovo and Metohija", Petkovic said.
