Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, told the British broadcaster BBC on Sunday that he cannot compromise with the democratic republic, and that the municipal buildings in the three municipalities in the north – Zubin Potok, Leposaviq and Zveçan – are assets of the Republic of Kosovo.

Commenting on the recent tensions in the north, Kurti said that Kosovo can reduce the number of police officers in municipal buildings, if beforehand, what he described as gangs – financed by Belgrade – go “either to Serbia, or in prisons”.

“In these three municipalities, Leposaviq, Zubin Potok and Zveçan, we have three buildings, and if not the mayors, then who should be in them? If they are not for the leaders, who do they serve? The presidents are in their offices, and that’s how it should be. Those buildings are assets of the Republic of Kosovo. They used to be parallel structures of Serbia, but they are illegal structures, created with the funds of the official Belgrade, which wants to destabilize our country, with the idea of ​​Belgrade to create a big Serbian world. We oppose something like that.”
