Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija Director, Marko Djuric requested from KFOR, following yesterday’s attack against Serb returnees in Petric, to ensure a safe environment for the Serbs in Kosovo, and international organizations to regain the rule of law there, Serbian media reported.
Djuric added, the violence that erupted yesterday in the village of Petric, when several Serbs were injured, one of them seriously, is obviously organized, systematic, and aims at intimidating and expeling remaining Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija, Serbian media reported.
Meanwhile, Srpska Lista reacted as well and called upon KFOR and international representatives to react urgently and protect the Serbs in accordance with the mandate entrusted to them.
“According to the same scenario as before, without any evidence, influential Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija who decide to return are arrested, physically attacked and hurt; there are threats for destruction of Serbian churches and monasteries, infirmaries in which Serbian doctors treat both Serbs and Albanians in Suvi Do are stoned, even the visit to the remains of the Holy Trinity Church, which the extremists devastated, is prevented, so we wonder what else should happen for the international community to react,” Srpska Lista said in a press statement.
