Vucevic: Kurti creating impossible conditions for survival of Kosovo Serbs

BELGRADE - Serbian Deputy PM and Defence Minister Milos Vucevic said on Friday Pristina's PM Albin Kurti was creating impossible conditions for a survival of Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija.

The situation in Kosovo-Metohija is very difficult and it is a delusion that Kurti has suspended a decision to ban the Serbian dinar, Vucevic said in an appearance on Prva TV.

"Kurti has even said something that sounds like mockery: 'I have not banned the dinar - you are just not allowed to buy anything and not allowed to use it.' He is very creative in his terror against the Serbs. He is creating impossible conditions for a survival of Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija," Vucevic said.

Kurti's agenda is that Serbs cannot survive in Kosovo-Metohija, he said.

"With devilish cunningness, he says he will address them in the Serbian language and communicate with them better. He will explain to us in Serbian that we do not need health centres and that he can get us arrested wherever he wants and ban us from having everything any people can have and expect. Only the Serbs are banned from having that in the 21st century. Essentially, no one in Europe is condemning that, except in some protocolar statements," Vucevic said.

He also said an initiative to reinstate compulsory military service in Serbia was not related to Kosovo-Metohija but to national defence.
