Simic: We have always called for peace, while those who set fire to international vehicles are now in the Kosovo government

Member of the Presidency of the Serb List, Igor Simic, stated today in Pristina that he will respond to the invitation from Kosovo authorities for talks, although he does not believe the process is fair.

He emphasized that they have always strongly advocated for peace and have never acted illegally, while some of those who previously organized violent protests in Pristina and set fire to international vehicles are now part of the Kosovo government.

“The fact is that we have always called for peace, and we will respond to the invitation, not because we believe it is a fair process, but because we have always called for peace and have done nothing illegal. Meanwhile, those who organized violent protests in Pristina and set fire to international vehicles are now in government,” he stated.

Simic confirmed yesterday, after a meeting with the Quint delegation, that he, Zlatan Elek, and Slavko Simic, along with over 40 other Serbs, have been summoned for questioning as suspects due to their participation in peaceful protests in northern Kosovo in December 2022, under accusations of attacking the constitutional order and other criminal offenses. Simic described this as political pressure on the Serb List and an attempt to intimidate the Serbian people, emphasizing that it is repression by Albin Kurti’s regime, especially ahead of the upcoming local elections.
