Continuation of fight for preservation of peace, protection of Serbs in Kosovo

Belgrade, 8 December 2018

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Nebojsa Stefanovic said today that all diplomatic, political and security forces of Serbia are focused on protecting the Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija from any harm.

Stefanovic said in an interview at the Radio-Television of Serbia that our country will fight for peace to be preserved at all costs and the Serbs to be protected.

We need to protect our people, who is at this moment the most vulnerable, the Deputy Prime Minister said, adding that this will always be the policy of Serbia.

We cannot allow anyone to harass the Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija and violate their rights. Our task is to stand by them and to continue to fight with diplomatic means, Stefanovic underlined.

He said that, unfortunately, Kosovo Albanians do not care about the situation in the region, and that their leadership is not mature or able to understand that any escalation of tensions is scaring off investors, and that that is not only Serbia’s business, but of all countries in the region.

Commenting on the statement of Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Enver Hoxhaj on the creation of an informal anti-Serb pact in the region or the announcements from Pristina about the formation of a Kosovo army, Stefanovic said that nothing justifies this type of tensions in Kosovo-Metohija.

Stefanovic underlined that Belgrade has pointed out that such behaviour is not in accordance with international resolutions, UN Security Council Resolution 1244, deals made within the Brussels Agreement and NATO guarantees, but that the Pristina side has always turned a deaf ear to Serbia’s warnings.
