The Serb List: Punish those responsible for the unjustified arrest of Jovanovic and the mistreatment of his family

The Serb List condemned the unfounded arrest of the former member of the Kosovo police Miljan Jovanovic, calling on the authorities to prosecute those responsible for this unfortunate event in which the Jovanovic family had been exposed to harassment and bullying by Kurti's Special Forces.

As reported by the Serb List, it was especially disturbing that Jovanovic's minor children had watched in tears as their father had been taken away in handcuffs, without any reason.

The Serb List reminds that this is not the first time that Jovanovic has been detained at the crossing by mistake, but, as they point out, it is the first time that he has been detained, although it was clear to the police officers at the crossing that it was the wrong person after inspecting personal documents.

"According to the information we have, the arrest and taking of Mr. Jovanovic to Pristina was aimed at provoking the reaction of the Serbs in the north of Kosovo and Metohija and raising tensions with the aim of Kurti causing a new crisis in these areas in order to avoid the obligation to start forming the Community of Serb-majority Municipalities. The fact is that Albin Kurti is behind this, as well as all previous incidents in the north of Kosovo and Metohija, and therefore we cannot rule out the possibility that he will try to create new crises in the coming period as well," the announcement states.

The party assesses that the demonstration of force and the infliction of mental pain on the Jovanovic family is a reflection of anti-Serb rhetoric according to which every Serb who opposes the plans of the regime in Pristina is a criminal, which most directly threatens peace in these areas.

"We demand that the Kosovo Police and judicial authorities stop harassing Jovanovic, and all other Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, and devote themselves to finding and sanctioning those responsible for attacks on the Serbs who, as a rule, are never found or punished," the Serb List said.
Also, the party demands that the international community condemn Albin Kurti's intention to threaten peace in these areas for the sake of his political goals.
