According to Petkovic, this is the most brutal demonstration of force and causing new tensions and provocations on the part of Pristina, which is trying to implement its illegal and unilateral measures with violence and cause a new destabilisation of the situation on the ground.
Aljbin Kurti timed and directed all this while the EU-Western Balkans Summit is being held in Tirana, just as during the summit in Berlin he called for the abolition of the Brussels Agreement and the arrest of Nenad Djuric, Petkovic stated.
This is what Aljbin Kurti's so-called democracy and the rule of law looks like - while he forbids Serbs from participating in elections and referendums, at the same time he tries to bring about his elections in the north of the province with long pipes, guns and violence, Petkovic underlined.
The Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija pointed out that Kurti's intention to seize four Serbian municipalities in the north of Kosovo and Metohija with violence and weapons and install Albanian representatives in them in illegal and illegitimate elections is obvious.
We call on the Serbs to remain calm and not be taken in for any kind of provocation whose only goal is to cause conflict and crisis in the north of Kosovo and Metohija, because all our people want is respect for their rights and the agreements made and their right to stay and survive on their centuries-old hearths, Petkovic underlined.
