“Vucciq turned Kosovo's north into East Germany with the help of Radojici, Kosovo Serbs are constantly threatened by Belgrade”

Serbia has turned Kosovo's north into East Germany, life in this part of Kosovo becomes the exclusiveness of entrepreneur Milan Radojic.

So starts his text, Milan Radojzic, a journalist in Serbian investigative painting. Radar.

“Sulmet against opposition politicians took off with the signing of the Brussels Agreement, when the government in Belgrade realised there would be no Serb support for what it signed,” Dejan Nedeljkovic, a political activist from Kosovo's Mitrovica said and a former associate of Oliver Ivanovic.

According to Radar, the Serbian List conducted by Aleksandar Vuciq has made life difficult for Serbs living in Kosovo. Most of them would leave here, but are not allowed by Serbia.

Lost Faith

But for the first time it became known that Kosovo Serbs would also have power in Belgrade against them, when the Serb gendarmerie under then commander Bratislava Dickic attacked the polls in 2013, ballot boxes and threw tear gas.

The “threats made were unimaginable by then. The murders of the husband and children were reported, people's cars were burned, bombs were dropped in houses”, says Nedeljkovic, who himself was attacked in central Mitrovica by three unknown men in June 2017.

Three hooded young men attacked him in the centre of the city as he was returning home with his girlfriend and the whole scene was quietly watched by five KPS Serb policemen who, instead of the attackers, stopped him in an effort to protect themselves.

With Oliver Ivanov's murder, any thought of a political alternative ceased to exist. Today there are formally some political options, such as New Serbian Democracy, whose entire political struggle is summed up in the fact that they are doing what the Serb List can't do anymore because they have lost people's trust since last year”.

Thus, for the first time in history, with centuries-old ethnic distances and conflicts with Albanians, Kosovo Serbs faced the rampant Belgrade depression, which gave life to entrepreneurs Milan Radoicic, who one day says not to work against Kosovo, and the other raises revolts against Kurti's terrorism. Among those two fires, in the political game of smoke and mirrors, in which nothing is likely, Serbs from the north of Kosovo participate by force of circumstances as the unconscious subject and as the pledge to retain power in Belgrade”.

Nedeljkovic points out that behind Banjska the situation has changed, bringing more freedom for people's engagement, but this possibility still deals with some kind of shame, as being banned.

“Perhaps because opposition-oriented Kosovo Serbs have been paranoidly slandered in government media, government officials drag them into court, such as Rada Trajkoviq, or stop them for hours at administrative crossings between Kosovo and central Serbia, such as the latest political veterans Momcilo Trajkovic and Marko Jaksic”.

Finally, but not least, according to him, the Serb list preserved the motive of existence, because in the north there are only jobs offered by Serbia.

All those working are employed by working contracts, namely contracts for special engagement, where one of the points of the contract is forcing them to help the population in northern Kosovo. However, the fear that once blocked humans has disappeared. He will never be at the level we had in the past years, but he no longer has the strength and unity that once existed”.

The Wind of Betrayal

Serbian media have recently flooded with writings against an opposition activist in northern Kosovo, without any regrets, as if only a few years ago had not announced the murder of Oliver Ivanovic thus.

Radoica Radomirovic is one of the people who has launched the civic initiative for Freedom, Justice and Survival in Leposaviq and Zubin Potok. He is also deputy minister for the Communists and Returns to the Government of Kosovo. Following a series of reports of embezzlement in northern Kosovo municipalities, he was brutally attacked in the pro-government media in Serbia and soon audio recordings compromised against him appeared in public.

On May 5th, an unknown person has fired from the car into motion and has pointed the automatic pistol in the direction of Marko Jablanovac, a member of Radomirovic's party, while Kosovo police have made a criminal complaint about attempted murder. Jablanovic was previously arrested for illegal possession and drug trafficking in a known scandal in which the government of Serbia's official car, or the Labour Ministry, was then run by Aleksandar Vulin.

Radari's conversationist highlights that the atmosphere on the Serbian List is such that the overwhelming majority would leave Kosovo on their own, if they could, but were not allowed to, while the move of the potential opposition is hampered.

When it comes to threats, I won't bet they have only threats, without offers. And the offerings are certainly generous”

Although circumstances changed after Banjsca, some things remained the same - at least in shape. As the Kosovo police raids continue on Post objects and the annulment of dinars continue, Serbs in the north are asked with flags to welcome the war process against the UN resolution. Only about a hundred people drive to the streets. Since it was a much smaller number than required, the new chairman of Kosovo's Mitrovica interim body, Ivan Zaporzhac, was invited to an exclusive hotelkeeper in Copaonic, which was brutal as usual in those situations.

However, it seems that even Kosovo Serbs do not want to live all their life in a prison that is run by the worst among them, as seen by numerous billboards on the road from Jarinje to Mitrovica, where it says the process for sale.
