Director of the Serbian government's Office for Kosovo and Metohija Petar Petkovic stated today that Prime Minister of Pristina's temporary institutions Albin Kurti does not want a dialogue on the normalisation of relations with Serbia, nor does he want to form the Community of Serb Municipalities, which is why he is causing incidents and carrying out terror against Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija.

Urgent formation of Community of Serb Municipalities only way to save Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija
Belgrade,
2 April 2023
Speaking at a press conference in the Serbian government, Petkovic said that Albin Kurti is trying to find a space to escape from the Community of Serb Municipalities and that is why he needs crises, because then there is no dialogue.
He underlined that violence and incidents are particularly common in four municipalities in the north of Kosovo and Metohija, and added that since Kurti came to power, 309 incidents have been recorded, and in the last month, 11 Serbian houses were robbed.
In the same context, the Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija mentioned yesterday's arrest of Milovan Bozovic, suspected of allegedly setting a car on fire.
Petkovic reiterated that it is Pristina's obligation to form the Community of Serb Municipalities, to which it is obliged by all agreements between Belgrade and Pristina made to date, and he highlighted the agreements from 2013 and 2015.
He pointed out that it is clear that these people do not want to discuss anything, and Kurti is looking for a way to cause incidents that would trigger an excessive reaction of the Serbs, in order to avoid his obligations.
He emphasised that Albin Kurti uses license plates to cause damage and provoke the Serbian community, and pointed out that the agreement is that there is no deadline until when KM plates with stickers are valid, which is also confirmed by the EU.
Stating that Serbia will stand by its people in Kosovo and Metohija, Petkovic assessed that the incidents and attacks are an alarm for the international community and a warning that it must react and get involved in defending the rights of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija.
He pointed out that the urgent formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities, as a guarantor of personal and collective rights, is the only solution to save the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija.
Petkovic pointed out that yesterday's arrest of the Serb is part of the usual raising of tensions before any continuation of talks in Brussels, which is expected on 4 April.
According to him, with this behavior of Kurti and Pristina, nothing can be expected from them as interlocutors in Brussels.
