Serbian National Assembly Committee for Kosovo and Metohija Chairman Milovan Drecun told RTS that the latest arrest of two Serbs in Kosovo, school principals, is part of a well-planned and coordinated campaign of Tirana and Pristina, adding such cases of illegal arrests would continue.

Drecun also said he is not surprised “since it is one of the ways, used for many years, to pressure the Serbs to leave Kosovo and Metohija and those who were expelled not to come back”.

According to him Pristina wants to exercise pressure on Belgrade by using unilateral acts that make the survival of the Serbian people in Kosovo difficult, disables return of displaced persons in order to fully prevent continuation of any talks between Belgrade and Pristina.

He said Pristina also with practical steps wants to create conditions for merging with Albania, which meets silent support of many Western states that recognized unilaterally declared independence of Kosovo.
