Petkovic calls it a <x0 ... rifle shooter” publication of names from Kurti

The director of the Office for Kosovo in Serbia's Government, Petar Petkovovic, said Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti could have made a <x0fow to any Serb” from Kosovo on the list he read at the Kosovo Assembly session.

“ ... because our people in the four municipalities north of Ibri are united in their resistance to the reign of his terror”, Petkovic said, according to a statement issued by his office, in which Kosovo's prime minister is described with insulting expressions.

Speaking Friday before the Kosovo Assembly, Kurt read the names of some who claimed to have been involved in clashes with KFOR peacekeepers and the Kosovo Police during protests by Serbian citizens on May 29th in Zvecan.

Petkov named him “for firing”.

He said that with its publication, Kurti “has taken all those residents of Kosovo and Metohija who want only peace, stability and the opportunity to live in a relatively normal society, in peacetime”.

In the Community of the Office for Kosovo of the Government of Serbia, Kurti is also said to have lost international support without specifying which of which he is trying to force his departure “into political history”.

Prime Minister Kurti, during his speech at the Kosovo Assembly on 2 June, said protests in the country's north are not the will of Serbs living in those municipalities, but are organised by official Belgrade.

He called the situation in the north “tense and dangerous”, but said it cannot contribute to the creation of parallel structures in the north because “if municipal objects are not for mayor, then who are they for? ”

Kurti said it is now in question “the liberation of the Serb community from the fascist militia” and that this community needs political pluralism.

The elections in the four municipalities in the north, inhabited by Serb majority, were held on April 23rd following the resignation of mayors from the ranks of the Serb List, the largest party of Kosovo Serbs in November last year.

They were boycotted by the majority Serb population in that area, which now does not accept the new mayors.

The escalation in the north culminated on Monday, May 29th, when KFOR peacekeeping troops intervened in Zvecan “to avoid clashes between the parties and to minimize the risk of escalation”, and were attacked by some violent protesters, which the Kosovo government says were Serbian criminal “”.

In this clash that took place, 30 KFOR soldiers were injured.

The United States and the allies said the use of force undermines efforts to normalise Kosovo-Serbia relations and called for calming the situation.

The international diplomatic community, from the United States, France, as well as other states of the QUINT states, have made the Government of Kosovo guilty of straining the situation in the country's north.
