Protest in Zubin Potok: Serbs may leave Kosovo institutions (International Radio Serbia)
The political representatives of Kosovo Serbs have stated at the protest rally in Zubin Potok, northern Kosovo, that they are pondering collective resignation from the Kosovo institutions if the arrests of the Serbs in the Province are continued. They have called upon the international community and EULEX to immediately and unconditionally enable all the unjustly indicted Serbs to be released pending trial, otherwise they will be forced to consider the possibility of terminating the cooperation with EULEX. Serbs’ representatives have pointed that the goal of the announced arrests is to intimidate the Serbs in northern Kosmet, and assessed that such moves do not lead to the stabilization of the situation. The protest rally was held under the slogan “We are all the same, who is the next?”, because of the ungrounded threats with Serbs’ arrests. Namely, last week the Kosovo police tried to deliver the subpoenas to the former and current municipal presidents of Zubin Potok, Slavisa Ristic and Stevan Vulovic respectively, without any explanation.
