Starovic: Pristina will try to justify the terror it has been conducting for 20 months by talking about Banjska at the UN Security Council session

The State Secretary in the Ministry of Defense, Nemanja Starovic, pointed out that during the UN Security Council session on Kosovo, Pristina would undoubtedly talk about the events in Banjska on September 24, even though it fell outside the reporting period of UNMIK. By doing so, they would attempt to justify the terror they had been inflicting on the Serbs in Kosovo for 20 months, Pink reports.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, in the latest six-month report on the work of UNMIK for the period from March 19 to September 18, emphasized his concern that the parties had not made significant progress in implementing the Agreement on the Path to Normalization and had yet to reach an agreement on the sequence of the provisions of its annex.

Starovic, commenting on the UNMIK report, stated that it was a regular report and said that it would be used to present arguments from all sides involved.

"It is undeniable that Pristina will discuss Banjska even though it goes beyond the reporting period. They will try to justify everything they have been doing for 20 months. I know that Prime Minister Ana Brnabic will point out the unsustainability of such an approach because all we see on the ground is the brutal persecution of the Serbs," Starovic said.

He states that he hopes that Serbia will have the opportunity to request a special emergency Security Council meeting, in line with the developments in Kosovo.

Milovan Drecun, the President of the Parliamentary Committee for Kosovo and Metohija, says that everyone who will participate in the aforementioned discussion is known.

He adds that there will be nothing new there.

"In principle, sessions do not change anything when it comes to countries' attitudes towards the Kosovo issue. Remember that many called for sessions and reports to be abolished to erase any connection with Resolution 1244," Drecun said.

As for the "big five" meeting, he says that no major agreement was reached because there wasn't much publicity.

"The statements were brief," Drecun specifies, adding that the EU Envoy for the Dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, Miroslav Lajcak, stated that there was something new, but it hadn't been agreed upon yet.
