A Serbian police officer from the Kosovska Kamenica municipality was detained at the Končulj administrative crossing on orders from Pristina’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti. This is the fifth case in recent days of politically motivated detentions and expulsions of Serbs employed in Serbian institutions in Kosovo. The Serbian government and the Office for Kosovo and Metohija condemn these actions as illegal and violations of human rights, while the international community largely remains silent. This situation further deepens tensions between Belgrade and Pristina.
Political Perspectives:
Left: Left-leaning sources tend to emphasize the human rights violations and political persecution of Serbs by the Pristina authorities, highlighting the illegal nature of the detentions and the silence of the international community. They often frame the issue within the broader context of ethnic tensions and the need for protecting minority rights in Kosovo.
Center: Centrist sources report the facts of the detentions and expulsions, acknowledging the political tensions between Belgrade and Pristina. They tend to present statements from both sides and emphasize the need for dialogue and adherence to international law to resolve disputes peacefully.
Right: Right-leaning sources strongly condemn the actions of the Pristina government as aggressive and unjustified persecution of Serbs. They emphasize the victimization of Serbian police officers and citizens, portraying the Pristina regime as violating Serbian sovereignty and international agreements, calling for stronger responses from Belgrade and the international community.
