“Kosovo police” raid into Serbian institutions in Metohija, continuation of ethnic cleansing

Belgrade, 2 February 2024

The Office for Kosovo and Metohija announced that today's raid by armed members of the so-called Kosovo Police into the temporary authorities of the municipalities of Pec (in Gorazdevac), Istok (in the town of Osojane) and Klina (in the village of Vidanje) represents the continuation of the ethnic cleansing and extermination of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, under the direct direction of Albin Kurti, and in front of the eyes of the entire international community.

Kurti's "special forces" closed down the Serbian municipalities in Metohija, which was completely violently ethnically cleansed of Serbs during the conflict in 1999, and then during the pogrom in 2004.

With great difficulty, the Serbs returned in small numbers to their hearths and to the returnee settlements where their lives were guaranteed by the international community, and today Kurti is expelling them again using "police", firearms and armored vehicles.

During today's illegal and violent action, the presidents of the temporary authorities were also taken into custody for informational interviews, and in the violent invasion of peaceful Serbian communities, health centers, clinics, and pharmacies were also closed.

This kind of action followed last week's raid in the municipality of Gora, which was not condemned by anyone from the international community, which by its loud silence becomes an accomplice to Kurti's misdeeds, the statement added.
