Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Zorana Mihajlovic said Pristina authorities are using the statement of Prime Minister Ana Brnabic – that Albanian political representatives in Pristina as former members of KLA “are people from the forest,” to justify brutal violence and arrests of Serbs in the north of Kosovo and Metohija by ROSU unit, RTS reported.

“I think it is clear to everybody that Pristina’s official use one inattentive statement of the Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic to justify before domestic and international public not only arrests of the Serbs that took place a few days ago, but also brutal beating of the Serbs and arrest of the Russian citizen, member of UNMIK,” Mihajlovic told journalists in Belgrade.

She emphasized Serbia is committed to the stability, European integration and standards, negotiations and compromise.
