(5 years ago)Serbia's so-called office director for Kosovo, Petar Petkovovic, said that “Albanians in Kosovo today are marking the anniversary of the failed secession effort, rather than the anniversary of citizenship”, Tanjug reports.

Petkovic said that the self-declared “self-declared Kosovo is still a political and international legal revision, of whose status the international community has diametrically opposed views, with the majority of humanity not perceiving that creation as a state”.
He said that after June 1999, the “more than 250,000 Serbs and other non-Albanians were expelled from Kosovo” and that “from 437 countries south of the Ibri where Serbs lived, 312 settlements were completely and ethnically washed out”.
“Those who are celebrating in Pristina today must wonder what they are celebrating, because there are currently about 100,000 Serbs living in Kosovo and Metohija, which is less than a third of the pre-war number. The return process is below 2% and is the smallest worldwide, much smaller than, for example, in Rwanda”, Petkovic said.
He also said a few words about Kosovo's candidate for prime minister, Albin Kurti.
When some politicians in Pristina today, like Albin Kurti, act with moral greatness, I must tell them that Serbia and the Serbian people will never accept the irrevocability of the current situation on the ground, nor agree to the view that everything that happened or is happening with our people today is in any way justified and legitimate”, Petkov said.
