Dacic: Albanian FM spurring Kurti to further provocations

BELGRADE  Serbian FM Ivica Dacic said on Tuesday evening his Albanian counterpart Olta Xhacka had expressed support for Albin Kurti's criminal regime, brutally accusing Serbia of sabre-rattling.

"She has not uttered a word to warn Kurti that he has an international obligation to implement the Brussels Agreement, UN SC Resolution 1244 and all other relevant documents and the obligation to form a Community of Serb Municipalities, and that he must not send armed ethnic Albanian units to the north (of Kosovo-Metohija) and that they should not be arresting Serbs just for being Serbs," Dacic noted.

He said barricades put up by Serbs in the north of Kosovo-Metohija were a form of peaceful political protest against Kurti's terror.

"Rather than warn him not to jeopardise peace and stability in the region, the Albanian minister is even spurring him to further provocations. That is why both she and the entire international community are hugely responsible for all that is happening and could happen in Kosovo. Serbia, led by President Aleksandar Vucic, will do everything for peace, but will also do everything to protect the Serbs from terror and pogroms," Dacic said.

Previously, Xhacka voiced "deep concern" over barricades in the north of Kosovo-Metohija, accusing the Serbian authorities of "justifying the barricades and criminal groups refusing to remove them."
