Priština endangers survival of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija with escalatory moves

Belgrade, 25 February 2026

Director of the Serbian government’s Office for Kosovo and Metohija Petar Petković today presented to EU Special Representative for the Belgrade-Priština Dialogue Peter Sørensen the scale of the consequences that could arise for the Serbian people if Priština starts implementing the so-called laws on foreigners and motor vehicles from 15 March.

Petković stressed at a meeting in Belgrade that these discriminatory regulations directly endanger more than 10,000 Serbs living and working in Kosovo and Metohija and threaten fundamental human and civil rights, the right to work, the right to freedom of movement, the right to family life, healthcare and education.

He pointed out that any intention to abolish these rights leads to the direct persecution of the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija and the administrative ethnic cleansing of Serbs, and represents a blow to the functioning of healthcare and educational institutions of the Republic of Serbia in these areas.

For that reason, it is necessary to urgently start discussions on the draft statute of the Community of Serb Municipalities, because it is the First Brussels Agreement on the Normalisation of Relations and the General Principles that define the functioning of these Serb institutions in the territory of Kosovo and Metohija, and this document represents the cornerstone of the protection of the collective and individual rights of Serbs, he said.

He also warned that Priština’s unilateral, illegal and escalating moves are leading to instability, new crises and tensions on the ground.
