Albanians take council seats in Kosovska Mitrovica through legal violence

Belgrade, 14 December 2022

Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Petar Petkovic stated that today, Albanians took council seats belonging to Serbs in the Serbian municipality of Kosovska Mitrovica through legal violence and unilateral moves, even though no one voted for them, and they do not have any majority, nor the support of the Serbian people.

Petkovic assessed that in this way Kurti is trying to create a pure mono-ethnic Albanian municipality in the north of Kosovo and Metohija.

This is exactly the mirror of the alleged democracy and the so-called rule of law of Albin Kurti that a pure Serbian municipality, despite regulations, rules and agreements, is taken over and run by Albanians, he added.

According to him, this is another act of violation of all agreements reached, including the internal regulations of Pristina, which do not apply when the smallest remaining rights of the Serbs should be taken away and they should be completely legally and administratively disenfranchised, for the sake of Kurti's main goal - the creation of a mono-ethnic Kosovo and Metohija in which there are no Serbs.

It is now clear that Pristina's withdrawal from the holding of elections in the north of Kosovo-Metohija on 18 December is not a concession by Pristina, "nor an attempt to calm tensions", but rather an insidious plan and a farce by Albin Kurti, who planned in advance how to seize Serbian municipalities with legal violence and without elections and sends his policemen to the north of the province, according to Petkovic's statement.
