The citizens of Serbia can breathe a sigh of relief: there will be no war in Kosovo, nor a new war between Serbia and NATO. Aljbin Kurti backed down before the military force of Serbia and the willingness of the Serbian commander in chief to use it, so he released former policeman Dejan Pantić from the police station to house arrest. And the list for the arrest of Serbs from Kosovo was put ad acta, the one that was discovered by some Serbian media. Not even Kurti's special forces with long barrels will roam the northern Kosovo municipalities and raid Serbian villages, those whose photos, with long barrels, the Serbian president showed during one of his speeches.
Twenty-year-old Nikola Nedeljkovič was also released, who was arrested on Vidovdan by Kurti's policemen, that is, the so-called Kosovo police, and Kurti's, so-called, judges sentenced him to 8 months in prison for "inciting ethnic hatred and intolerance", but in fact "just because that he is a Serb", as Nedeljko himself said.
Kurti was forced to make all these concessions because he did not dare to remove the Serbian barricades by force, and he promised his Albanians that they would be removed.
Since all this is so, and we were told that it is so, the Serbs from Kosovo will remove the barricades and be able to celebrate the New Year with their families in peace the day after tomorrow. Both the soldiers of the Serbian Armed Forces and the policemen placed under the command of the General Staff will not have to spend the holidays at the administrative crossing with Kosovo and Metohija in a state of full combat readiness, but they will be able to spend the holidays, both New Year's and Christmas, in their homes with their loved ones.
So that there was no confusion and doubt as to who was the winner in this pre-war conflict, Petar Petković, the head of the Chancellery for Kosovo and Metohija, made sure: "A great victory for the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija and for President Aleksandar Vučić who stood by his people even when it was the most difficult, when were enormous pressures, who unwaveringly defended the right of his people to survive!"
And Vučić, after the midnight meeting with Patriarch Porfrey the other day at the midnight meeting in Raška last night, asked the representatives of the Serbs from the barricades to remove the barricades, and they listened to him because they only trust him, although they don't trust Kurti.
"I think we had a good day for our people." Nothing bad happened to a single Serb. One Serb left for Belgrade. The other one arrived home," said Vučić. And modestly added: "This is just a small victory."
So the President wrote on his Instagram account "buducnostsrbijeav" that "every day of peace and stability is a chance for the future". But Kurti is the one we're dealing with, and that's why he later wrote: "If they start hunting you like rabbits, then it's over, then there's no more agreement, there's nothing." If they catch one of us, or two of us as rabbits, there are no more rabbits, those rabbits become wolves."
As with those successful TV series when at the end of one season, the screenwriters do not put an end to it, but open the possibility for the continuation of the series.
The fact that that "terrorist scum" Kurti is now proclaiming his victory because the other day he said that in a few days the Serbian barricades will be removed by mercy or force, so they, like the Serbs, retreated, we will not pay attention to that because nothing can be done to him to believe.
And those from the international Western community are talking about some kind of their success, like they mediated and convinced the president of Serbia to convince the Serbs from Kosovo to remove the barricades, and that Kurti to release Dejan Pantić under house arrest. And we know they are lying, the President has told us that many times.
Since the President of Serbia and the Commander-in-Chief fought for peace in Kosovo and Metohija, we can calmly wish each other a happy New Year and Christmas holidays.
