Drecun: Quint pressuring Belgrade by supporting Kurti

BELGRADE - The head of the Serbian parliamentary committee on Kosovo-Metohija Milovan Drecun said on Tuesday Pristina's PM Albin Kurti had had the support of Quint states for his most recent actions in the north of the province.

In a statement to Tanjug, Drecun noted that Western powers and, above all, the Quint, demonstrated no firm determination to rein in Kurti's violence and terror against Serbs but instead blamed the Serbs for what had happened in Zvecan.

"Kurti was allowed to do something like that under the pretext that elections have been held, even though 97 pct of the people who live there took no part in those elections," Drecun said.

All that is going on right now is a result of the West's inability to make Belgrade agree to membership in international organisations for the false state of Kosovo and to agree to "de facto recognise the false state of Kosovo, for a start."

He said the destabilisation of the north of Kosovo-Metohija was aimed at "pressuring Belgrade to accept an agreement in full, to minimise its strategic partnerships with Russia and China, to impose sanctions on Russia and completely turn to the West."

He said it was very difficult to predict future developments but that he believed the situation would escalate further.
