The Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petković, during a meeting with the EU Special Envoy for the Belgrade-Priština Dialogue, Peter Sorensen, in Brussels, emphasized the need to stop the terror and persecution of Serbian political representatives in Kosovo, particularly the Serbian List. Petković stated that members of the Serbian List, including its president Elek, have been summoned by the so-called Kosovo prosecutor’s office on charges related to peaceful protests. He criticized the current Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti for attempts to suppress the Serbian List and stressed that such terror has no place in Europe. The Serbian List holds the greatest trust of the Serbian people in Kosovo, which, according to Petković, bothers Kurti and his policies.
Political Perspectives:
Left: Left-leaning outlets tend to emphasize the human rights and democratic aspects of the issue, highlighting the persecution of political representatives as a violation of political freedoms and minority rights. They may criticize the Kosovo government’s actions as oppressive and call for international intervention to protect Serbian political actors.
Center: Centrist sources report the facts of the meeting and the accusations without strong bias, focusing on the diplomatic dialogue between Belgrade and Priština. They present statements from both sides and emphasize the importance of dialogue and peaceful resolution of disputes, while acknowledging the tensions and challenges faced by Serbian representatives in Kosovo.
Right: Right-leaning media strongly support the Serbian perspective, portraying the Kosovo government, especially Albin Kurti, as hostile and repressive towards the Serbian minority. They emphasize the narrative of political persecution and terror against Serbs, framing it as an attack on Serbian national interests and sovereignty. They call for firm resistance and international support for the Serbian List.
