Petkovic: Serbian people on verge of humanitarian disaster (RTS)
RTS reports this morning there are less and less basic commodities available in the shops in the north of Kosovo. Office for Kosovo and Metohija Deputy Director Petar Petkovic told RTS Serbia is doing its utmost to help its people, although Pristina tries to make the position of Serbia more difficult in any possible way.
RTS correspondent from Mitrovica North reported there was no delivery of goods from central Serbia dedicated for daily consumption in the north and other Serb-populated areas south of the Ibar River.
Petkovic told the RTS morning programme that the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija is on the verge of a humanitarian disaster because of tariffs imposed by Pristina seven months ago. He added suppliers to the hospital, kindergartens and Students’ Centre in Mitrovica north said they would have to reduce supply of groceries and quantity of the food.
“This is a rather dangerous situation that clearly indicates under what conditions Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija live (…),” Petkovic said, RTS reported.
