Svecla for provocations of Serbian gendarmerie at the border: Will fail, willing to face any challenge

Interior Affairs Minister Xhelal Svecla said Serbia has violated the Agreement on Joint Border Management, referring to the presence of four members of the Serbian gendarmerie at the Merdarne border police station.

Kosovo police have reported that a Land-Rover-type Serbian license car allegedly belongs to the Serbian gendarmerie was spotted yesterday 6:20 p.m.

According to information from the competents there, four members of the Serbian gendarmerie were reported to have stayed about 10 minutes at the entrance of the facility to the Serbian side.

The minister confirmed that it is not the first time Serbia has taken such actions, which it has confirmed international partners have announced. He even said that these provocations will fail and that they are willing to face any challenge.

“made violations of the agreement for joint management of border points. It's not the first time they've broken this deal, but we hope it's the last. We are certainly ready to face their every violation and at the same time present them to our partners as additional evidence of how Serbia is not ready to co-operate despite the agreements it has signed”. / EO/

It is clear that Kosovo is threatened by Serbia's hegemonic aspirations all of their state-owned devices work to meet their goals, which are not only unacceptable to us but also criminal in our reality. Kosovo institutions are being strengthened every day for those purposes of Serbia to step down at any moment now even in the future. I am convinced that these provocations will definitely fail to make the lives of our citizens especially in the Serb community, but we are able to face any challenges from within or outside”, he said.
