A day after the attack in the north of Kosovo, Vučić meets the Russian ambassador in Serbia, this is what the Serbian President writes

The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, met with the Ambassador of Russia in Belgrade, Aleksandar Bocan-Harchenko, a day after the armed attack on the Kosovo Police in the north of Kosovo.

“I am grateful that (the Russian ambassador) listened to the prayers and requests of the Serbian side,” Vučić wrote on his Instagram account on September 25.

He did not elaborate on what the demands are.
A member of the Kosovo Police was killed and several others were injured in clashes with an armed group in the northern part of the country, inhabited by a majority of Serbs, on September 24. The police sergeant, Afrim Bunjaku, died from his injuries in the attack, the authorities confirmed.

The Kosovar authorities said that three attackers were killed, while six people, who were suspected of being in contact with them, were arrested. About 30 attackers were stationed in the monastery of the village of Banjské in the municipality of Zveçan and around it.

On Sunday, Vuçiqi blamed Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, saying “some Kosovo Serbs” rebelled by erecting barricades “not wanting to suffer Kurti’s terror anymore”.

The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Kurti, meanwhile, said that the attack was supported by Serbia.

“It is about a terrorist and criminal formation, professional, which has planned and prepared for a long time what it has done today and which is not a smuggling gang, but a mercenary structure, which is supported politically, financially and logistically by Official Belgrade”, said Kurti.

This incident about two weeks after Kurti and Vuçiqi failed to reach an agreement on the normalization of relations during the high-level dialogue meeting mediated by the European Union on September 14 in Brussels.

Prishtina believes that it should be mutual recognition, while Belgrade insists on a compromise solution.

Serbia does not recognize Kosovo’s independence, declared in 2008, and has the support of allies Russia and China against it for this.
