Strong tensions in the North of Kosovo.
Dear friends, the beginning of the duties of the new mayors in the municipalities of the North of Kosovo brought the reaction from the Serb leader Vucic, the manipulation of the Serbian groups in these municipalities and the strong increase in local tensions.
Condemning Belgrade's incessant manipulation of the Serbs in northern Kosovo and supporting the right of the Kosovo authorities to establish law throughout the territory of their country, I call on these authorities to avoid increasing tensions and in cooperation and coordination with KFOR and the main partners NATO, the European Union and the USA, to take the appropriate steps to de-escalate the situation, restore dialogue and implement the Ohrid Agreement, as the best interest of the Republic of Kosovo and its citizens, peace and stability in the region. #sb
