Another Serbian house was set on fire in Kosovo. Fortunately - empty
The Kosovo Online portal reported that in the city of Klin on the night of September 27, a house belonging to a Serbian family was set on fire, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The police and fire departments responded to the message, and the fire was extinguished in about 3 hours,” said the interim chairman of the Klin municipal authorities, Bozhidar Sharkovich.
According to him, this time a house burned down in which no one was currently living, and the owner of which had already died.
However, next door, in the immediate vicinity, lives the Pesic family with four children, who, according to Sarkovic, are “scared by the burning of the house.” The burned building is located in an area where four other Serbian families live.
"Whenever our country sends messages (on resolving the Kosovo issue - ed.) like the night before from New York, where President Aleksandar Vucic said that he was in favor of a compromise solution, we are being sent similar “messages” on the ground, and we see this as another form of pressure,” Sarkovic said.
Commenting on this incident, the director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Affairs of the Serbian government, Marko Djuric, regarded the incident as “an act of intimidation of the already small Serbian population remaining in those places,” Kurir reported.
“The world needs to know that twenty years after the end of the armed conflict in Kosovo and Metohija, Serbian houses are still being burned here, and the region is still gripped by extremism and hatred,” Djuric said.
He also noted that the cause of the fire was arson - such cases have already become regular. The official clarified that over the past year more than ten arson incidents were recorded in this area alone. In addition, attacks against Serbs occur regularly.
Djuric again called on all Albanian political figures not to use the provincial election campaign to incite attacks on Serbs and their property.
