This summer, because the Kosovo authorities forced the Serbs living in the north to "give up the car license plate issued by the Serbian authorities and have to replace it with a Kosovo license plate", in June+10, 5438, Kosovo Serbs withdrew from all central and local institutions to protest this decision. Recently, four cities in northern Kosovo will hold local elections on February 6, 2008. However, on the 6th, masked men destroyed the office of the Municipal Election Commission with grenades. Due to various factors, the situation in this area is once again in a tense situation, and a single spark can start a prairie fire.
Serbia signs license agreement with Kosovo authorities
Although Serbia and Kosovo authorities reached an agreement of 165438+ under the auspices of the European Union in late October, which ended the dangerous license plate dispute in northern Kosovo, the anger of both sides did not seem to abate. Earlier, the West warned that this dispute may lead to racial violence.
On the current situation, Serbian Defense Minister milos Vucevic said that the current situation in Kosovo is so explosive and tense. He said that a single spark is enough to start a prairie fire, and everything is developing in an undesirable direction. He said, "This is a very difficult situation. It is difficult for the Kosovo Serb community to remain calm, not to succumb to provocation and not to be further humiliated. We must understand their reaction. They don't have the same environment and life as other Serbian citizens. "
In view of this situation, Serbian President Vucic commented on the relations between his country and Kosovo in an interview with local TV channels.
Vucic
Vucic said: "The atmosphere in Kosovo and Metohija is very tense, and even the smallest incident may lead to unsatisfactory development. This is not surprising, because Kosovo leader Couty has been taking actions to destabilize Kosovo and expel Serbs from Kosovo. " He said that Serbia stands with the Serbs in Kosovo, and Couty's biggest goal is to scare off the Serbs there.
At present, the security forces attached to the European Union Mission have increased their personnel on the Iberian Bridge connecting southern and northern Mitrovica.
Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia in 2008, and the United States, Britain, France, Germany and Turkey recognized it as an independent country, but Serbia continued to insist that Kosovo was its territory.
The self-proclaimed "President" of Kosovo, Viyosa Osmani.
At present, more than 300 armed commandos from Kosovo, accompanied by armored vehicles, entered the Serb-populated area in the northern part of the province and blocked the northern part of Mitrovica in Kosovo.
At the same time, Serbian residents of the city gathered in the streets, and cafes and shops were closed.
In this case, the Serbian authorities are considering the return of security forces to Kosovo. The Serbian government said that according to the UN Security Council resolution 1244, it would consider returning 1000 members of the security forces to Kosovo and Metohija.
President Vucic has repeatedly reiterated that there will be no more massacres. In my opinion, westerners who should talk to the Kosovo authorities do not understand this enough. "
Aleksandr chesley, vice-chairman of the Serbian Radical Party, claimed that Belgrade was prepared to "defend its people" and whether Kosovo would compromise was entirely up to Washington. He said, "The intentions of Kosovo Albanians are supported by the United States, and some people claim that they may attack Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija. If this happens, Serbia must protect its own people. An agreement can only be reached if the United States instructs its customers in Kosovo, because the current power in Kosovo is in the hands of Americans.
According to the politician, "the United States and NATO occupied Kosovo and Metohija after the bombing 1999, and since then, they have put pressure on the autonomous region to become an independent country."
The leader of the Kosovo authorities recently said that he would apply to join the European Union before the end of the year. At present, the five western Balkan countries-Albania, Bosnia, Montenegro, Northern Macedonia and Serbia-are at different stages in the process of joining the EU.
The agreement between Serbia and Kosovo remains one of the main preconditions for Serbia's accession to the EU. Another condition is that Serbia will join the sanctions against Russia.
Serbia is under the yoke of the West, and how Vucic will choose is worthy of attention.
