A statement issued by the Office referred to the latest attacks and to the fact that yesterday in the village of Pasjane in the Gnjilane municipality, gun shots were fired from an automatic weapon at six Serbs who were collecting wood in their neighbourhood, while around Leposavic there are forest fires nobody is trying to put out apart from the locals.
Instead of helping extinguish fires, KFOR is blocking all alternative routes in the north of Kosovo-Metohija under full military equipment and prevents movement of people and goods, says the statement and adds that thus began the day when “the end of the so-called supervised independence will be celebrated“ in Pristina.
The Office for Kosovo-Metohija stated that for the Serbs both supervised and unsupervised independence only mean continuation of violence and lawlessness, lack of property and legal security, lack of freedom of movement and violation of human rights.
The statement reminds that after coming to Kosovo-Metohija the international community undertook the obligations to establish the rule of law, to facilitate the return of all those forcibly expelled, to reveal the fate of the missing and the dead, and to allow owners to use their property.
None of these obligations has been fulfilled and that is why we call on the international community not to reduce its presence and not to allow the violence against the Serbs to remain unpunished, the statement added.
