Prime Minister Vucic has requested permission from the Kosovo Government to visit Kosovo Serbs with dual citizenship, who will vote in Serbian elections. Such permission is given, and we regret that this opportunity has not been used to promote better neighbourly relations but to spread the false statements in connection with the property, said to Danas daily, the Acting Head of Kosovo Foreign Ministry Petrit Selimi, commenting on the visit and the rhetoric of the Serbian Prime Minister during his visit to Kosovo.
Selimi notes that during the election campaign in Serbia, “many imaginary and unrealistic claims will be expressed by some Serbian politicians who are still intoxicated by nationalist sentiments.”
– It’s important that the Kosovars do not fall for provocations but to continue to be focused on economic development, EU integration and good relations with neighbours, emphasizes interlocutor of Danas.
On the occasion of the incident before the arrival of the Serbian Prime Minister, when an explosive device was thrown, and fired from an automatic rifle at the Sport Hall in Zubin Potok, Selimi said that “law enforcement authorities are investigating the case, but I note that in 2015, official data of the police show only five interethnic incidents in the north, and a far more incidents between members of a group.”
Nenad Djurdjevic, of the Forum for Ethnic Relations in Belgrade, told Danas that the incident, which occurred on the eve of the rally where the guest was Prime Minister Vucic, is for condemnation and “it is important to investigate who is responsible and find out the motive.”
