Vucevic: Kurti is deliberately complicating the entry of Serbian goods into Kosovo, he will not open Jarinje and Brnjak

Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic stated today that Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin Kurti is doing everything to make it more difficult for Serbian goods to enter Kosovo, including unnecessarily long inspections and complicating the administration, with the aim of frustrating people and undermining what was supposedly agreed upon.

"Unfortunately, everything is going very poorly. Kurti agreed, signed, but in every way he fundamentally minimizes and acts destructively. They are conducting unnecessarily long inspections, complicating the administration just to make people nervous and to render meaningless everything that was allegedly agreed upon," Vucevic said, responding to a journalist's question about the long lines at Merdare, where Pristina recently approved the entry of Serbian goods.

He recalled that Kurti also caused problems regarding CEFTA and the entry of Serbian goods into Kosovo, only to later reverse his decision, expecting praise.

"And then, he suddenly became accommodating and allowed goods from central Serbia to enter the province, expecting a gesture of gratitude because he suddenly appeared to be cooperative. It's like when a student who skipped classes shows up, and the teacher praises him—the one who was skipping, instead of those who have been present all along, doing their homework, getting good grades... But unfortunately, that's how it is when it comes to Kosovo and Metohija," Vucevic said.

He is convinced that Kurti will not allow goods to pass through Jarinje and Brnjak.

"He excuses himself by saying that he hasn’t received some scanners... With this, he wants to suggest that there’s a fear we’re sending who knows what, not just food, medicine, and basic necessities... He’s doing everything to make life more difficult for Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija," Vucevic emphasized.

He highlighted that Kurti attacked yet another municipality yesterday that operates under the Serbian system in Kosovo and shut it down.

"He definitely won’t calm down, he has elections ahead, and a lot of trouble awaits us. We are in for a lot of tension with Kurti and a lot of concern about the fate of the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija," Vucevic concluded.
