Periskopi(3 years ago)
(3 years ago)It has taken exactly 19 days with barricades in northern Kosovo. They're leaving, but they're growing. On the one hand, Prime Minister Albin Kurti claims that removing heavy means is a matter of days, and it wakes us up with large trucks even located right in the city of Mitrovica [...]
The fragile situation in northern Kosovo is continuing to follow us even in the last days of the year. Despite statements, calls of meetings, neither Serbs nor security bodies are removing barricades at different border points. Tuesday morning woke us up plus two barricades, writes Periscope.
Just before this development, is Prime Minister Albin Kurti, who told a Bosnian media: If KFOR doesn't do this, we will. They can't last for months. Not for weeks, but for a few days.
This statement was made at media conferences by Interior Minister Jhelal Svecla, saying Kosovo police have all their capacities to intervene in removing obstacles in the north.
First Barricades Within the City
Two new barricades have been set up in northern Mitrovica.
“North of the country, persons/ criminal groups at night, have continued to establish barricades, further hampering freedom of free movement. Two heavy - tool barricades have also been introduced. One of the barricades is located at the crossroads at technical school, while the other is located at the site called Dudes Quersi”, said in the police response.
The EU condemns the latest attacks in the north: # Right away # # # The situation #
The European Union has condemned attacks on Kosovo Police, KFOR and EULEX have called for the immediate de escalation of the situation in the north.
The European Union “strongly condemns attacks on EULEX, KFOR and the Kosovo Police” and calls for maximum restraint and immediate action for “escalation of the situation, which includes content from provocative actions, threats or intimidation”, it says in an EU statement on Serbian media.
The EU stresses that the situation in northern Kosovo is still tense and that “must be respected rule of law and that no form of violence will be tolerated”.
In this statement, the EU again calls for both sides to engage and contribute to a political solution so that tensions can be reduced.
“We expect Kosovo and Serbia to return to the dedication of creating an adequate environment for reconciliation, regional stability and better co-operation of their citizens, which includes the protection of the Serb population in northern Kosovo”.
Serbian List of propaganda: Kurt can organise attacks on EULEX and KFOR and accuse us
The Serbian list has denied that North Serbs stand behind attacks on EULEX and KFOR members in northern Kosovo.
“The crisis range in the name of the Serbian people calls on KFOR and EULEX to increase alert”, a response to this party is said.
Until, in conspiracy, they write that “give serious doubts that Kurti is willing to organise an attack on members of these missions and accuse Serbs of this”.
Therefore, according to them, Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, <x0, has lied about attacks on KFOR in order for Serbs to get into conflict with KFOR, which is the only legal formation armed in accordance with Resolution 1244”.
“KFOR and EULEX's refusal to come to the service of Albin Kurti's dictatorial anti-Serb regime is the reason Kurti wants to devise attacks on these lying organisations”.
According to the Serbian List, which is conducted by Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vucic, political representatives of the Serbian people, and members of the crisis headquarters have repeatedly publicly invited citizens to co-operate with KFOR and EULEX. /PERISCOP/
