Kosovo publicist and political analyst Veton Surroi said on Friday that the Serb List was created by the Presidents of Serbia and Kosovo, Aleksandar Vucic and Hashim Thaci.

The Serbian List is a Kosovo Serb party whose officials, including at least one person alleged to have criminal connections, enjoy the full support of official Belgrade.

Klan Kosova reports that a prayer was held in the Sinan Pasha Mosque in Prizren in favour of the Turkish military operation against Kurds in Syria. Present in the prayer was also the Turkish Ambassador to Kosovo, Kivilcim Kilic, Turkish general consul in Prizren, Eylem Altunya, members of Turkish army part of KFOR, as well as local residents.

In an interview to Radio Free Europe, publicist and author Veton Surroi said Kosovo’s leading institutions are to a large extent politically controlled while Kosovo ‘is a captured state where crime and politics cohabitate marvelously.”
