The Prime Minister of Serbia, Milosh Vučević, described as “fantasy” the statements of the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, that Serbia is conducting military training in the bases it has near the border with Kosovo.

Kurti, in an interview with the CNN network on Tuesday, asked the West to put pressure on Serbia to remove those bases.

In a post on his Instagram account, Vučević said that the bases of the Serbian Army have long been located on the “administrative line” – as Serbia refers to the border with Kosovo – and that by setting up these roadblocks, Serbia is not violating any international agreement.

“The fact that Kurti, for the seventh time, tries to create a media drama, that allegedly the so-called Kosovo is threatened, is nothing but a fog for his Western sponsors”, said Vučevič.

He added that “only the Serbian people” are at risk in Kosovo, to whom “Kurti denies basic human rights”.

“The only ones who are threatened in ‘Kosovo and Metohija’ are the Serbs, and this is because of the continuous violence, provocations, destructive actions and media weaves made by Kurti himself,” said Vučević, without mentioning any evidence to support these claims.

A day earlier, the Speaker of the Assembly of Kosovo, Glauk Konjufca, said that Serbia may repeat the “terrorist aggression” in Kosovo, if it is not punished for last year’s attack in Banjska.

In this village in northern Kosovo, armed groups of Serbs attacked the Kosovo police on September 24, killing a policeman.

Kosovo blamed Serbia for the attack, although it denied it.

Millan Radoicic, former vice-president of Serb List, the largest party of Serbs in Kosovo, said that he himself is responsible.

He is believed to be free in Serbia.

Kurti requested his surrender as a condition for the continuation of high-level dialogue with Serbia, with the aim of normalizing relations, but the president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, did not accept this condition.
