Former head of Kosovska Mitrovcia district Radenko Nedeljkovic said in a TV show “Slobodno srpski” that the Association/Community of Serb-majority Municipalities (A/CSM) is a fake and deceitful story which is served to Serbs in Kosovo as a salvation solution, whereas its main goal is the abolishing of the remaining Serbian institutions in Kosovo. He further added that the goal is for A/CSM to be used as an instrument for integration of Kosovo Serbs in Kosovo institutions, without them noticing that Serbia’s institutions in Kosovo have been abolished.

Nedeljković went on to say that following Kosovo local elections and signing of the Brussels Agreement, nothing has changed for the better in the north. “People have become demoralized, disappointed, they are migrating, many are sending their children to schools and faculties to Serbia proper. Thus, following the Brussels Agreement there is nothing positive in northern Kosovo, neither in security, nor in economic, political or any other sense. Police has been abolished, along with judiciary and civil protection, and all this was literally handed over by Belgrade as a gift,” said Nedeljković, and assessed that Pristina and the international community would have never managed to win northern Kosovo if it wasn’t for Belgrade.

He commented on the recent visit of the Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić to northern Kosovo and said that when it comes to his approach to Kosovo he is carrying out ‘disastrous politics based on deceptions and lies”.

Nedeljković also reflected on the case of Oliver Ivanović and said the moment when he was arrested, just before the local elections in Kosovo, ‘confirms doubts that it is about a political process’, and that, according to him, Ivanović was seen at that moment as an obstacle to Belgrade, the international community and Pristina, and that Belgrade has ‘put its fingers in his arrest’.
