Stoilkovic: Kumanovo and Banjska demonstrate double standards by the international community

President of the Democratic Party of the Serbs in North Macedonia, Ivan Stoilkovic, believes that the events in Kumanovo in 2015 and in Banjska on September 24th indicate double standards by the international community regarding how the event in Macedonia was viewed, which, according to him, was more than terrorism.

Stoilkovic says for Kosovo Online that he sees nothing new in the fact that these two events are differently perceived and qualified, given that we have known for years about the hypocritical behavior of the international community.

"I am surprised at how forgetful people are, or rather, how naive politicians who implement such insane policies are and believe that people have forgotten everything they did before. Or does all of this apply to the international community, which thinks that we simply do not live with it, that we have no idea what is happening," Stoilkovic said.

He asks whether they think that "we do not know how they behaved when, and much worse cases than this one in Kosovo, were a part of our daily lives".

"In Kumanovo, we had something more than terrorism. It was an attempt, in a way, to stage a revolution in the country. And you had a highly organized group of Albanian terrorists with the support of various structures, both here in Macedonia and from the Kosovo and Metohija region. I doubt that this was not done with the support of a part of the international community," he said.

He emphasizes that all these events, in a way, not only show the double standards of the international community but also the double standards of certain politicians in the region.

"I mean Edi Rama or these Albanian politicians from Kosovo and Metohija, who obviously have a very short memory and forget that they buried the terrorists who attacked Macedonia with high state honors, and the international community remained silent and did not want to get involved in the whole process," he said.
