Preventing violence against Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija
Belgrade,
28 May 2018
Director of the Serbian government’s Office for Kosovo-Metohija Marko Djuric strongly condemned the violence against Serbs who wanted to mark the Christian holiday of the Holy Trinity in Petrica near Klina today, and who were prevented by a group of Albanians, who did not allow them to enter the church.
Djuric asked the provisional institutions of self-government in Pristina and international institutions in Kosovo-Metohija to ensure respect for the right to freedom of movement and confession of faith to Serbian pilgrims.
He said that the expelled Serbs from Metohija have been systematically prevented from marking Christian holidays in their villages for years, and those who actually exercise authority on the ground do not take any measures to sanction and suppress this type of extremist behaviour.
Today's anticivilisation protest in Klina shows that for the extremists it is not enough that the Serbs have been expelled from Metohija, but that they want to completely wipe away any recollection of Serb existence in that part of our southern province, the Director of the Office for Kosovo-Metohija underlined.
