The head of the Parliamentary Committee for Kosovo Milovan Drecun said the decision to call local elections in the north of Kosovo was Pristina’s intention to void the majority's will of the Serbs and “to install” individuals from the Serb nation, the Beta news agency reported on Wednesday.

Speaking to the public service Radio Television of Serbia (RTS), Drecun said that “the situation among the Serbs could be complicated after this election and Pristina could use that as an excuse to intervene.”

According to Drecun, Pristina endangers the security of the Serbian people, especially in the north of Kosovo, and continues to raise tensions further, in conditions when we see strong diplomatic activities of the United States and Germany.

"The question arises as to whether these activities are aimed at encouraging Pristina to move on with one-sided measures and trying to transfer the ball to Belgrade's yard and show that Belgrade is not constructive, that it impedes the process of continuing the talks, or whether it's simply that Washington and Berlin are powerless to convince Pristina to begin behaving rationally," Drecun said.

There are continuously some unilateral measures taken by Pristina, Drecun points out.

"We have already forgotten the Statute of Trepca, we have forgotten the story that they will take the University in Mitrovica, but we have forgotten the story of unifying the two Mitrovica - now it is the turn now for this new thing, we forgot, under quotation marks, a law on the KSF transformation and the peak is this platform," said Drecun.

He accused Pristina of continuously “raising the tensions with its unilateral measures instead of abolishing (the 100 percent import) taxes (on goods from Serbia and Bosnia), and create conditions for the dialogue with Belgrade (on normalisation of relations) to resume.”

Kosovo’s President Hashim Thaci on Monday called elections for the mayors of four Serb-majority towns in the north of Kosovo whose mayors resigned in protest over the tariffs.
