Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija do not want to work against their own people

Belgrade, 18 August 2023

Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Petar Petkovic said today that Belgrade does not pressure Serbs in the north of Kosovo and Metohija to make decisions about where they will work or how they will live, but that it is certain that they perceive the "Kosovo police" as an occupying force in which they do not want to work against their own people.

In a statement, Petkovic pointed out that Albin Kurti's words still resonate with Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija that the Kosovo police is the continuation and successor of the terrorist so-called KLA, and therefore it should not surprise anyone that they do not want to work in Kurti's institutions.

“It is well known that Kurti wanted and boasted in numerous places that he would "fill the security vacuum in the north" by hiring Serbs and agitators that he finds suitable, but the Serbs once again answered him that they want neither him nor his so-called Kosovo police.

That is why now, in order to justify his failure and find an alibi for the fiasco before the international community, he accuses Belgrade of making some kind of pressures.

He should face the truth once and for all - a true Serb will never strike at his fellow countrymen, he will never be a stick against his people in the hands of Sveclja and Kurti, and they clearly told them that when they left the "Kosovo police" on 5 November last year, when the last straw was that they did not want to write fines to their fellow citizens for Serbian license plates," Petkovic emphasised in his statement.
