Director of Office for Kosovo and Metohija again banned from visiting province
Belgrade,
12 October 2022
The statement reads that this is the tenth time that the authorities in Pristina, led by Albin Kurti, demonstrate force and self-will and prohibit Petkovic from visiting the southern Serbian province.
The Office Director respected all the official agreements and announced his visit and the attendance of the Patron Saint’s Day celebration of the Patriarchate of Pec Monastery. For Thursday, he was scheduled to attend the event “Moravian Days” in Gornje Kusce.
However, Pristina authorities did not let Petkovic enter Kosovo and Metohija this morning and thus broke all the agreements and showed that no European values, agreements reached, or the process of normalisation of relations have any meaning to them whatsoever and that they only want to create crises and tension.
The Office for Kosovo and Metohija will inform Brussels, as the guarantor of respect of the Brussels agreement, of this brutal violation of the agreement, as well as of the violation of religious freedom. The Office will also inform other international actors who are trying with all their might to present the so-called Kosovo as an oasis of democracy, whereas in reality there is the violation of official agreements, demonstration of force and the violation of basic human rights of Serbs living in Kosovo and Metohija.
