It seems to me that everything is being done so that the public of Serbia does not find out what happened in the village of Banjska in Kosovo and Metohija, and it seems to me that the Serbian and Kosovar authorities are also involved in this, Radomir Lazović, Zeleno MP, told the "Vremena" portal. - of the left front.
"Before we conclude anything, we need to know who the people are who attacked the Kosovo police, what they wanted to achieve by blocking the road, what actually happened." It seems to me that we didn't find out anything about it and that it is being hidden from us," says Lazović.
He also asks how it is possible that such a large group of people simply left the monastery.
"Where are the weapons?" How were the weapons delivered? It seems that this is an action in which everything will be done so that nothing is found out," says the interlocutor of "Vremen".
When asked who are the ones working to ensure that nothing is found out, Lazović answers:
"I absolutely think that everyone participates in the fact that nothing is found out, from criminal structures to the state of Serbia. It is even unclear, if there were negotiations between the Serbian and Kosovo authorities on the release of these people, I think that they escape from that environment, it means that the Kosovo authorities are also participating in it. The only thing that seems to be important is that the citizens do not find out what happened," notes Lazović.
The Green-Left Front condemned today the intrusion of armed and masked people into the Banjska monastery, as well as all provocations and all violence, from whichever side it comes from, and calls for restraint on the part of the Kosovo police and the Kosovo authorities, as well as the citizens of the north of Kosovo, in order to the crisis was resolved with as few victims as possible.
Lazović adds that they demand that the authorities in Belgrade and Pristina urgently reach an agreement on the sequence of steps in the implementation of the Ohrid Agreement in order to normalize life.
"We call on the Government of Kosovo to urgently publish the draft statute of the Union of Serbian Municipalities, in order to start a public debate on that text and the adoption of the Statute, which would give the Union functional powers of self-government, and then its immediate formation.
"We call for consideration of the establishment of temporary self-government bodies, which will prepare free and democratic elections, and the establishment of legitimate local government in Serbian areas in the north of Kosovo," the Green-Left Front points out.
Still tense
The village of Banjska in the municipality of Zvečan cannot be entered or exited even this morning, after yesterday's attempt by a group of Serbs to block the road in the village led to an armed conflict in which three attackers and one member of the Kosovo police were killed.
Kosovo online and indicates that all approaches are blocked by strong police forces, and it is not yet known when they will be unblocked. All three approaches to the village of Banjska, from the direction of Zvečan, Zubina Potok and from the highway Kosovska Mitrovica-Leposavić, are blocked.
The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, assessed yesterday as the most difficult day for Serbia and the Serbian people since 2004 and 2008. He pointed out that the killing of the policeman was reprehensible and something that no one needed, but also warned that Aljbin Kurti wants to bring Serbia into conflict with NATO.
How did the parties react?
Condemnations and comments of what happened also come from the ranks of the opposition, ranging from calls for the army to return to Kosovo, to the fact that everything looks like the involvement of the Russian intelligence services, to criticism of Vučić and Kurti.
Nebojša Zelenović, co-president of the Zajedno party, asked the question on the X network "Who were the murdered Serbs?"
"How did an armed group just suddenly evaporate?" Were they arrested? How did they get past the police force? Were the armed men Radoicic's armed men? We saw only one theater owner on the verge of a nervous breakdown, unable to provide security to the people of Kosovo. You will not get away with weak nerves and pathos."
The refusal of Kosovo Prime Minister Aljbin Kurti to fulfill his obligations and form the Union of Serbian Municipalities, the implementation of illegitimate elections and the repression of Serbs that leads to their rapid emigration are a sure way to tensions and conflicts, the Freedom and Justice Party (SSP) announced today and strongly condemned any violence.
According to the position of the SSP, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić's senseless decision to have Serbian policemen leave the Kosovo police force left the Serbian people without protection from Kurti's repression, as well as the criminals who stormed into the Banjska monastery armed and pointed their guns in the faces of the clergy.
Due to the incompetence of Vučić, the head of the Security and Information Agency Aleksandar Vulin and the Minister of Defense Miloš Vučević and other incompetent cadres of the Serbian Progressive Party and due to the cooperation with criminals who became the richest people in Serbia while "defending" the Serbian people in Kosovo, the Serbs in Kosovo were left at the mercy of the insane Kurti regime, which is carrying out open terror against them, the SSP press release points out
Russian signature
Zvonko Veselinović and Milan Radoičić, the organizers and protectors of a criminal clan from the north of Kosovo that terrorizes the rest of the Serbs, are primarily responsible for the death of an Albanian policeman and the still undetermined number of Serbs killed, claims the president of the organization Liberals and Democrats (LIBDEM), Đorđo Žujović.
According to LIBDEM's statement, Žujović assessed that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić showed in his speech on Sunday that he clearly lacks the courage to tell the truth about the latest conflict in northern Kosovo.
The handwriting of the Russian secret service, which, together with our "patriots", will sacrifice the last Serb, is clear to laymen, since we are only worth to them as cannon fodder and numbers on some front, Žujović pointed out.
The People's Party announced that it strongly condemns the attacks that took place today in Kosovo and Metohija and that it expresses concern for the safety of the Serbian people in the southern Serbian province.
The international community is obliged, based on Resolution 1244 of the UN Security Council, to ensure peace, stability and protection to the Serbian population in Kosovo and Metohija, the announcement states, adding that the state of Serbia also has an obligation to provide protection and assistance to our vulnerable people.
It is emphasized that the goal of open violence and repression systematically carried out by the extremist regime of Aljbin Kurti, which seriously threatens the survival of our people in their centuries-old hearths, is the ethnic cleansing of the Serbian people from Kosovo and Metohija.
The People's Party reminds that it warned that the acceptance and implementation of the "French-German" plan for the independence of Kosovo and Metohija would lead to the complete endangerment of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija and calls on the government to clearly reject that plan.
Bring back the army
The Serbian party Zavetnici, the Serbian movement Dveri and the Movement for the Defense of Kosovo and Metohija have expressed serious concern for the safety of Serbs after the latest escalation of violence in the north of Kosovo and are calling on the authorities to request the return of the army to Kosovo.
"Representatives of the fake state of Kosovo, led by Aljbin Kurti, have been attacking Serbs for a long time and continuously in four municipalities with a majority Serb population in the north. In support of this, information from the field says that the separatist institutions in Pristina have declared those four municipalities to be the zone of anti-terrorist operations, according to the announcement.
We request the state authorities to once again request the return of members of the Serbian military and security forces to Kosovo and Metohija, which is made possible by Resolution 1244 of the UN Security Council, the statement said.
We ask the Government of Serbia whether it has any plan for the protection of the Serbian population, which is daily exposed to brutal repression by Albanian separatists, and we repeat the request for an urgent, extraordinary session of the parliamentary committee for Kosovo and a special session of the Assembly on the topic of the security situation in the province, the statement added. .
