What German-speaking press writes about Milan Radoichi and Vucinate “almost subject to” on CNN

A day after his arrest in Belgrade, Milan Radocic, the initiator of the recent attack on Serb paramilitary formations against Kosovo police, has been released from custody, German media reports, Deutsche Welle reports. The German DPA agency suggests that the Supreme Court's investigative judge in Belgrade has rejected the prosecutor's request for 30-day detention.

Kosovo-Serbian businessman and politician is not allowed to leave Serbia or its home, is not allowed to travel to Kosovo and should appear in the police at the beginning and in the middle of every month. He's confiscated his passport”, writes the DPA.

As the “Danas“broadcast, the German DPA agency recalls that Radoiciq “has publicly admitted responsibility for the attack of Serb militants on police in northern Kosovo on September 24th”. Also reportedly, as the public prosecution has announced, it was charged that between January 2023 and September 24th in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, it has provided weapons, ammunition and explosive devices with great destructive power and has hidden them in Kosovo's abandoned buildings and forests. As leader of the group, he has put people in danger during the September 24th action in Banjska”, photographing Telegrafi.

“during the hearing session with the prosecutor, Radojic denied criminal acts, but earlier”, reportedly, “has publicly declared that he wanted to encourage the people of Kosovo in resisting the (Prime Minister) regime, Albin Kurti”.

“Aggression must stop”

The newspaper “Tagesspiegel” writes that German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius (SPD) does not rule out the possibility of increasing the number of German soldiers in the KFOR mission, but added that this is not currently planned. “

The media also convey the statement by German Agriculture Minister Cem dealtmir (The Green Party), currently located in a tour of Western Balkan countries, which estimates that Serbia's recent threatening <x0->actions -- especially attacks on Kosovo, which have come from Serbian territory -- are totally unacceptable”.

“Aggression must be halted, Serbia must de-tradition and reduce its troops in the border area”, ⇩demir said. According to him, Germany and the EU must make it clear that further aggression will have consequences and that they will not sit back.

Vuchiq on CNN “almost submissive”

The Swiss newspaper “Neue Zürcher Zeitung” writes that following the shootings in northern Kosovo, Belgrade and Pristina returned to the war of words. Serbia's “President Aleksandar Vuciq has had an apics presentation on CNN on Monday evening. Vuciq, who often stages his appearances in Serbian media like drama when he thunders, sighs and reproves journalists, was almost subdued in proportion to Christiane Amanpour on CNN. He said he respects the findings of American intelligence services, but that they are not accurate about the alleged delocation of the Serbian Army”.

The paper also broadcast Vuciki's statement from that interview that “currently only 4,400 troops on the administrative lines with Kosovo and troops are not on high alert, but are monitoring the situation”. Vuciq called on KFOR forces, led by NATO, to take responsibility for security in northern Kosovo. This is the only way, he estimates, for Serbs to feel safe there”.

According to the Swiss newspaper, the aim of Serbia's president is “to further weaken Pristina's control over that area”. Vuciq also “continues to deny Serbia was involved in the Banjska attack. He condemned that act and said it was an expression of the despair of Serbs oppressed by Pristina, and stressed that such unilateral acts hurt his country. After all, he says, recent negotiations with Kosovo went to the benefit of Belgrade”, followed by Noje Zircher Zeitung's words of Aleksandar Vucinqi. And you value:

This is true. Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti seems to have been a holder for negotiators, because he refused to form the Association of Serbian municipalities agreed on. Because of this, Kosovo over the summer faced mild sanctions from the European Union and the US”, the Swiss newspaper writes, and adds that the Serbian “attack has already changed balance with one movement”.

Vuciki's “Kritics have now received the support of two neighbouring states of Serbia. Albania's prime ministers, Edi Rama and Croatia, Andrej Plenkovic, have called on the EU to impose sanctions on Belgrade. And the very fact that Serbia declared national mourning after the attack speaks of Vuciqi's involvement in this vicinity”, concludes “Neue Zürcher Zeitung”.

Crisis Instead of Co-operation

The German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung recalls that German Foreign Minister Analena Berbock will meet this Friday (October 6th) in the Albanian capital, Tirana, with colleagues from six Western Balkan countries, as well as representatives of the European Union and other member states. The goal of the meeting is to promote co-operation among the countries of the region and draw them closer to the EU.

The German government hoped there would be some positive news from the region. They believed that last year's co-operation agreements could be further advanced. But the deployment of Serbian troops on the border with Kosovo overshadowed the meeting, which will probably become a place of diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis, just as the informal EU summit being held in Granada on the same day”, reports Süddeutsche Zeitung, adding that “are on the rise in Bosnia and Herzegovina's tensions between Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik, on the one hand, and the state authorities in Sarajevo and the international community, on the other hand, from<3x>

Süddeutsche Zeitung: “A man, many words”

The same newspaper conveys the comment by journalist Tobias Zick, in which he estimates: “Ende is not clear what the exact goal was behind the terrorist attack in which heavily armed Serb attackers killed a Kosovo police officer last week. But one thing is clear: Milan Radoic, whom Kosovo authorities identified as head of the gang through a video with fear, claimed responsibility for the crime”, Telegraphy explains.

The alleged, serious criminal, who is under US sanctions, is one of the most powerful politicians in northern Kosovo and is considered a close associate of the president of Serbia, Vuciq. Both now claim that Radojic, without the knowledge of the [Serb] Government, has expressed local Serbs' dissatisfaction with Kosovo authorities, using a spontaneous outburst of armed anger. However, this is a big question”, the author estimates.

His “statements testify that Vuciq did not completely dismiss the actions of well-armed attackers: not long after the attack, he complained of allegedly ethnic cleansing which Serbs in Kosovo are subject to. EU mediators did not react sufficiently to that totally exaggerated rhetoric and sometimes in the past months, rather increased pressure on the Kosovo side unproportionally”, writes German journalist and concludes:

“Even though Vuciq publicly claims he does not want war, the question is what he really wants. Peace? European diplomats must more firmly seek binding answers if they want to be taken seriously in the Western Balkan countries”, said the end of the comment published in Süddeutsche Zeitung.
