Vucic accuses Kosovo of NATO

Vucic participated in the television program in the capital Belgrade and assessed the current tension in northern Kosovo.

Defending that the tension in the north of Kosovo has not yet reached its peak, Vucic affirmed that Kurti increased the tension in order not to comply with the agreement signed between Serbia and Kosovo, which provides for the establishment of the Union of Serb Municipalities.

Vucic, citing Kurti’s desire for war, said: “He wants to drag the Serbs into the conflict. Kurti aims to pit Serbia against NATO. Serbia should be much more careful from now on,” he said.

Stating that he will meet with the Kosovar Serbs today, Vucic added that he will never allow exile.

Regarding the Wagner group’s revolt against the Russian administration in Russia, Vucic said: “Serbia has never been a country that supported the coup in any country, nor will it ever be. Governments change by election, by the will of the people. It could never be otherwise. I don’t want to comment too much on what happened in Russia. All I can say is that it will have serious and profound consequences.”

THE TENSION CONTINUES FOR WEEKS

On May 26, Kosovar Serbs protested the election of Albanian mayors who won local elections on April 23 in the municipalities of Zveçan, Zubin Potok and Leposavic, where Serbs are concentrated in northern Kosovo.

There was a clash between the Kosovo police, who were sent to the region to protect the Albanian mayors, and the Kosovo Serbs.

On June 14, Serbia detained 3 people, determined to be members of the Kosovo police, in the border region of the two countries on the grounds that they were “planning to take action in Serbia”, and Kosovo claimed that the policeman was “kidnapped” by Serbia.

While the Kosovo police detained around 10 Kosovar Serbs for various reasons, Serbia demanded that these people be released as soon as possible.

The main reason for the tension between the two countries, which clash from time to time, is expressed in the fact that Serbia considers Kosovo, which declared its unilateral independence in 2008, as its own territory.

Within the framework of the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue Process, launched under the mediation of the EU in 2011, efforts are underway to find a common path for the normalization of relations and, ultimately, for the two countries to get to know each other. (AA)
