“Request for my dismissal is just a pretext for toppling the government, since it is obvious that Albanian opposition is not able to win the power by democratic means,” said Minister for Communities and Returns in the Kosovo government, Aleksandar Jablanović, regarding the request of the Movement "Self-determination" for his dismissal.  While requested your dismissal protesters demolished Pristina.  Kosovo opposition chose to win the power through the street, but I am confident that the government will survive the crisis.

The president of the Provincial Board of the Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO), Ranđel Nojkić, said that violent protests surprised analysts, foreign embassies and all those who monitor events in Kosovo. "The statement of Isa Mustafa who said that this would cause great damage to Kosovo was not naive, at all. On the other hand protest could be considered as an attempt to topple the government and all these developments now lead Kosovo in a specific situation," said Nojkić. Nojkić commented the statement of Minister Jablanović as reckless.

Serbian journalists from Kosovo requested the response of the security authorities, representatives of Kosovo and international institutions, because of the attack on journalists of RTS, B92 and RTK2, during protests which were held on Saturday.  President of the Association of Journalists of Kosovo and Metohija Budimir Ničić said that Serbian journalists are not afraid of protesters, but the lack of a system that can protect them from the attack.

Prime Minister of Kosovo Isa Mustafa in a meeting of the government today expressed regret over the people injured in the protest yesterday and the support for the police in guaranteeing a safe and secure environment. He reiterated that the protest was politically motivated. “The main cause of yesterday’s escalation of the protest was the ultimatum for removing the police cordon,” said Mustafa. “Citizens were called to protest about Trepca and the resignation of a minister whose apology they did not accept.

Today’s protest called by Vetevendosje and supported by other opposition parties has turned violent after the police tried to disperse protesters with teargas to prevent the crowds from approaching the government building. At present, Kosovapress reports that the protest has worsened, with a major clash occurring between the police and protesters in front of the Ministry of Culture building at Mother Theresa Square.
