Statement required by Serbs not to buy food from Albanians (Document)

Milk is lacking and almost all its products, up to various types of Serbian detergents.

Kosova Prees learns that from Thursday to the north, food stores will be shut down, only in order that at the eve of Vidovdan's holiday on June 28th, when many citizens from Serbia come to the north and Gazimestan, the serious humanitarian situation” of the northern Serbs will reflect.

That the situation and everything else is being devised, there is also a document being circulated in northern municipalities from Tuesday, where an appeal is made to citizens who, despite the lack of articles, for no price, should buy goods from the south and Albanians.

Document that has secured The KP is written in the Cyrillic alphabet and holds the signature of the so-called “The Association of Kosovo Afarists and Metohija”.

Kosovo sources report that members of the organisation “Cicilla zastita” will stay these days near Ibri Bridges to monitor closely whether one of Serbian citizens is bringing goods from south to northern Mitrovica and beyond.

Here is a complete document that calls for not buying from Albanians.

Document text translation

Your Honor,

Taking into account the newest situation created in the north of Kosovo that, in itself, contains numerous difficulties often faced by businesspeople who are exposed to daily pressures, arrests, seizures of trucks and goods, we invite you into union and unity.

In protest of the taxes being applied and in the inability to import Serbian goods into Kosovo's territory, we invite all businesspeople to not get goods from the southern part of the province (from Albanians) and thus witness our joining and unity with the “greeting from here there is no turning back”.

With respect, the Association of businesspeople of Kosovo and Metohija.
