Kurti: Banning Kosovars in Serbia, warned by Vuciqi, hundreds were deprived of food and medicine

Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti considers it Serbia's revenge stopover of travellers Wednesday at border crossings in Serbia. That, according to Kurti, has also been warned by Serbian President Alexander Vuciq.

According to Kurti, Serbia has thus retaliated a day after Kosovo has managed to secure enough votes from delegates to the Council of Europe member states.

Kosovo's chief of executive says hundreds of people have been deprived of food and medicine.

“They have been detained as a result of a media conference, which Serbia's president went on Saturday, where he said that in the coming week Serbia wants to exercise power and effective control, will begin to retaliate. So even what is happening this week has been warned on Saturday that last Saturday, when Serbia's president visited the Kourbraı military unit on their birthday, a unit we had accused of in mid-June last year that kidnapped three of our police officers in northern Kosovo. It was on the birthday of the Special Military Unit, which had kidnapped our police officers, that the president of Serbia warned this persecution of others he considers undesirable, starting with Kosovo Albanians and those in the Valley and Serbs in Kosovo who have integrated into our institutions. It seems that the mass arrest that was made yesterday, with cases of hundreds of civilian citizens left without medicine, no food without water for almost a full day, is the result of Kosovo's success at the Parliamentary Assembly in KiE, and, as an intense revenge, this persecution was made and this mass ban” expresses Kurti post-homage at the tomb of martyrs in Velani in honour of Pristina Witnesses' Day.

Kurti emphasises that the actions of Serbs in Kosovo are under way at Belgrade's command. Serbia considers the situation in the north also guilty and efforts to fail the referendum process for the removal of current mayors of four municipalities in northern Kosovo.

The “that I can't say is over and you have to understand that it's happening at the same time that in Serbia it's being carried out as they believe the biggest military exercise in this century and that it's going to be in the next few days until the end of the week so through Sunday. All of this is synchronized with the boycott taking place in the four northern municipalities seen Sunday and that would be a chance for citizens there to express their will, but because of Belgrade's political bulling, threats, blackmail, burns in cars being held there, it seems that we will not have this satisfactory participation, although we make all possible efforts and help the CEC to make these votes more successful on Sunday, April 21,”, says Kurti.

Kurti reacts to torturing citizens at the border: A day after Kosovo vote in KiE, Serbia retaliates against civilians
