Petar Petkoviq, the director of the Office for Kosovo within the Serbian Government, has accused the Kosovo Police of implementing “unnecessary” actions against the Serb community during the commemoration of the Feast of the Holy Archangels in Prizren. Petkoviq characterized these police actions as an act of “repression.”
He alleged that the underlying objective was to establish what he termed a “new Gazimestan.” Petkoviq linked this to a recurring political narrative emanating from Belgrade, which aims to portray Kosovo’s institutions as a threat to the Serb community. These Serbian narratives have reportedly intensified recently regarding the situation in Kosovo.
The article notes a pattern of escalating rhetoric. Previously, Serbian Minister Snezhana Paunović addressed the topic of ethnic cleansing in Kosovo. Additionally, Igor Simiq has issued multiple statements that have been characterized as disinformation regarding the status of the country.
Most recently, the Serbian president has also been implicated in such statements.
