Ahead of the upcoming UN Security Council session on Kosovo, UNMIK Chief Caroline Ziadeh met with representatives of the Serbian political party, Lista Srpska. The meeting focused on the party’s claims of “ongoing violence” against Kosovo Serbs, urging Ziadeh to reflect the “real situation” of the Serbian community in the six-month UNMIK report.
Lista Srpska alleged that institutional violence targets Serbs, including minors, and even expanded their concerns to include the Bosniak community.
“The representatives of Lista Srpska emphasized the continuation of institutional violence against Serbs, even minors and children of Serbian and Bosniak ethnicity, who have recently been unjustly detained and assaulted by Kosovo police,” the statement read.
The party also raised concerns over what they called the “stolen mandate” of Nenad Rašić.
“A mandate in the Pristina Assembly was taken from the Serbian people and handed to Pristina’s regime, namely Vetëvendosje and Albin Kurti through Nenad Rašić. Kosovo institutions are pressuring Serbs, raiding businesses without cause, arresting Serbs for war crimes without evidence, while perpetrators of attacks against Serbs remain unpunished,” Lista Srpska claimed.
The party concluded by affirming its support for UNMIK’s work under UN Security Council Resolution 1244 and insisted that the report should accurately portray the “real situation on the ground and the suffering of the Serbian people.”
