Aleksandar Vucic: Albin Kurti and the West want war with Serbia

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said that Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti's policy is "an attempt to provoke a war organised and supported by certain Western powers".

On 5 August, Kosovo police raided the premises of the Serbian Post Office in the north of the country after receiving reports of illegal activity and financial abuse. Nine offices were closed. The operation aimed to deter Belgrade-backed illegal institutions in northern Kosovo, as well as to end the use of the Serbian dinar for payments.

"We do not want war, we want to keep the peace, but he (Kurti) is doing it deliberately, organised and with the support of certain Western powers. The statement by the European External Action Service, their 'foreign ministry', is shameful and rude because they invite us to discuss Kurti's unilateral moves, which are otherwise illegal," Vucic said.

"Whatever nonsense Kurti does, they call us to discuss what he has brutally violated," the Serbian head of state added.

Vucic accused two European Union countries, which he did not name, of "softening all positions against Pristina and Kurti."

"I am very worried. I won't say any more because I am afraid that I may harm the interests of my country and my people," the president said. | BGNES
