Kosovo’s PM Albin Kurti commented on the attacks against police officers in northern Mitrovica.

PM Kurti also emphasized that these attacks should be seen as terrorist acts and that according to him, their goal was to kill Kosovo police officers.

“We have harshly condemned this attack, which was a terrorist act. These aren’t attacks that aim to cause collateral damages, these are attacks against our citizens, but rather they are attacks against our police and they are attack which aim at killing our police,’ – argued Kurti.

These comments were made by the prime minister during homages paid before Zahir Pajaziti’s statue in Prishtina.

When it comes to the illegal Serbian structures and organized crime in northern Kosovo, Kurti said that police and his administration will show zero tolerance.

“We won’t show a single gram of tolerance when it comes to the illegal structure and organized crime in Serbia,” – he added.

Kosovo’s PM also commented on the statements made by the Serbian president Alexandar Vucic, in regards to the arrival of a British Airforce plane in Prishtina.

“Statements coming from Belgrade can’t be taken as facts. This is what the past has shown us as well as the present. Naturally, we have increased our defense budget in Kosovo. We’ve increased it by 52% for 2022 compared to 2021,” – said Kurti.

Kurti also spoke about the license plate agreement, by saying that April 21 is the last deadline, adding that the reciprocity principle is an essential factor in the effort to find a solution.

“The reciprocity principle is irrevocable and unnegotiable as it is the very essence if we want to come to a future solution,’ – said Kurti.
