Students of Pristina University, temporarily dislocated to Mitrovica North responded to German Ambassador in Pristina, Christian Heldt saying they had no intention to insult Germany with their performance “Kosovoschwitz” but to point out the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija find themselves in a similar situation as before the WWII, Serbian public broadcaster RTS reports.

In an open letter to Ambassador Heldt, who condemned performance and termed it as “inappropriate” and “disgusting”, students said they were surprised by his reaction.

The German Ambassador to Kosovo, Christian Heldt reacted to today’s “Kosovoschwitz” performance of students from the University of Pristina held in North Mitrovica. Heldt said that the parallel that these students drew between the present situation and the Holocaust is „over the line“ and „disgusting“.

The students’ performance was organized in protest to Pristina’s tax increase on imports of products from Serbia and the arrest of three Serbs suspected of being involved with the murder of Oliver Ivanovic.

Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Communities and Returns, Dalibor Jevtic met yesterday with the German Ambassador in Kosovo, Christian Heldt and informed him about the issues Serb returnees are facing, including unemployment, arrests and usurped properties, KIM Radio reported.
