Petar Petkoviq, the Director of the Office for Kosovo within the Serbian Government, has reiterated criticisms regarding the institutions of Kosovo. His recent statements specifically addressed the actions of the Kosovo Police during the commemoration of the Feast of the Holy Archangels in Prizren. Via the social media platform “X,” Petkoviq alleged that Kosovo Police officers implemented what he described as “unnecessary and biased” security checks targeting Serbian believers attending the religious ceremony.
He characterized these security measures as an “act of repression.” Furthermore, Petkoviq accused various Kosovo institutions of impeding the operations of multiple Serbian-language media outlets. In his commentary, Petkoviq invoked a known political narrative, suggesting that the underlying objective was “to create a new Gazimestan.” These statements continue to frame the relationship between Serbian cultural activities in Kosovo and the local authorities. The focus of his criticism remains on the perceived overreach and bias exhibited by the police during significant cultural and religious events within Kosovo.
