The arrest of Igor Popović, Deputy Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija responsible for legal affairs, has sparked outrage and sharp condemnation. Petar Petković, Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, called this move the “harshest” and an injustice committed by the Pristina regime led by Albin Kurti. Instead of arresting terrorists who have inflicted so much harm on the Serbian people, the authorities in Pristina decided to detain the brave Popović, who today attended the commemoration of the anniversary of the suffering of Serbs in Orahovac — a place that endured horrific crimes by the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army (UÇK).
Petković made it clear that not even prison bars will hide the truth about the crimes of the UÇK and that the fight for justice and remembrance of innocent victims will continue. The arrest of Popović is, according to him, yet another proof that Pristina does not want to face its past and acknowledge the crimes committed by their members.
This incident comes at a time when the anniversary of the suffering of Serbs in Orahovac is being observed, further highlighting the pain and injustice endured by the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija. Instead of focusing on reconciliation and truth, the authorities in Pristina continue repression and pressure on those who fight for justice.
The arrest has triggered numerous reactions in Serbia and the region, with many seeing it as an attempt to silence the voice of truth and intimidate anyone who dares to speak about the crimes of the UÇK. But as Petković said, the truth cannot be locked behind bars. The fight for justice and remembrance of innocent victims will continue regardless of obstacles.
If you think this is just another political game, think again. This is a fight for truth, justice, and the dignity of a people. So, what do you think about this arrest? Is it a sign of Pristina’s weakness or a sign that the truth still hurts? Drop a comment, let your voice be heard!
