Speaker of the Kosovo “parliament”: Serbia, of course, helps us, but we still won’t forgive it
The speaker of the Kosovo “parliament” said that Serbia’s donation of coronavirus tests to the province “is not capable of erasing the crimes that were committed in the past.”
Balkan media reported this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
A thousand coronavirus tests were sent by order of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic after a videoconference between European health ministers and the command of the international occupation contingent KFOR revealed that Pristina was in dire need of them.
Belgrade sent the above tests to the region on April 17. Upon the arrival of the cargo from Serbia on Kosovo soil, local reporters did not miss the opportunity to poke fun at the acting. “Prime Minister” Albin Kurti, who had previously replaced XNUMX% duties on Serbian goods with “measures of reciprocity” (Serbia’s recognition of Kosovo commodity documentation, which would formally mean Belgrade’s recognition of Kosovo’s sovereignty).
They asked him what was indicated in the accompanying documents of the cargo - “Kosovo and Metohija” (the Serbian name of the region) or “Republic of Kosovoа"(this is what local Albanian separatists call the region)?
In response to this, Kurti left the topic, saying that he did not know the wording of the accompanying documents, but would ask the acting officer about it. "Minister of Health" Arben Vitiy.
“At a meeting with Prime Minister Albin Kurti, we discussed measures to overcome the coronavirus pandemic, as well as institutional and party conflicts during the epidemic in Kosovo,” Speaker Vjosa Osmani said while speaking at the Kosovo Assembly, hinting at the confrontation between the “prime minister” and the “president.” ", the Prime Minister's Self-Determination movement and the Kosovo political parties opposing it, as well as Osmani herself, who sided with Kurti, with her Democratic League of Kosovo party, which achieved a vote of no confidence in the same Kurti.
“We asked Health Minister Arben Vitija to provide information on the situation with tests from Serbia. But I want to point out that assistance from Serbia cannot erase the crimes that were committed in the past,” she added.
It should be noted that the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Serbia, which included Kosovo (Serbia itself was part of the “small” Yugoslavia, consisting of Serbia and Montenegro), as well as the army of Yugoslavia that was subsequently brought into the region, did not commit any crimes.

A routine police-army operation was taking place to clear out separatist militants, which would have ended in success if not for the intervention of NATO.

During the operation, it happened that women and children died, since the militants’ tactics included the use of human shields. But many times more Albanians, primarily civilians, died from reprisals by militants of the Kosovo Liberation Army over fellow tribesmen loyal to Belgrade and bombing by NATO aircraft.
