Serb List: The beating of Subotic confirms that Pristina continues with intimidation and violence

The excessive use of force and police brutality have long been a daily occurrence in northern Kosovo, and the beating of Milos Subotic at a police station only confirms that Pristina continues its methods of intimidation and violence against the Serbian people, Serb List emphasizes.

"The excessive use of force and police torture have been part of daily life in northern Kosovo and Metohija for a long time. Last night’s beating of Milos Subotic, a Serb from Kosovska Mitrovica, at a police station again confirms that Pristina routinely employs Gestapo-like methods of intimidation and violence against the Serbian population. It is clear that these acts of violence and torture against Serbs have a single goal – to instill fear as a means of expulsion and ethnic cleansing of the northern part of the province," the statement reads.

The party stresses that Serbia will continue to systematically record all attacks on Serbs so that those responsible can be held accountable.

"The international presence in Kosovo and Metohija is obliged, in accordance with international law and the regulations that should be applied on the ground, to prevent torture of Serbs and increasingly blatant violations of human rights of our people," the Serb List states.

In the coming weeks, a new six-month UNMIK report on the situation in Kosovo will be reviewed before the United Nations Security Council, and Serbia will use this opportunity to draw global attention to all forms of physical and legal violence carried out against Serbs by the regime of Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, the Serb List says.
