Petar Petković, director of the Serbian government’s so-called Office for Kosovo, once again attempted to push a narrative of victimization and fear when speaking to French Ambassador Florence Ferrari in Belgrade, using Kosovo’s Foreigners’ Law to frame Pristina as a threat to Serbs.
In a statement from his office, Petković claimed that the law is allegedly part of Pristina’s plan to expel Serbs and undermine Serbian institutions in Kosovo—despite no independent evidence supporting such accusations.
He described Serbian schools and healthcare institutions in Kosovo as the “pillars of Serb survival” and a “foundation” for the Association of Serbian Municipalities, while urging the international community to pressure Pristina to follow agreements, framing any Kosovo initiative as illegal and unilateral.
Petković also repeated his familiar propaganda trope of “violence” against Serbs, asserting that:
“Pristina almost daily uses escalating measures to provoke crises and tensions, committing open institutional physical violence and violating the rights of Serbs and their elected representatives.”
Observers note that Petković’s statements are part of a pattern of political messaging from Belgrade, designed to internationalize internal Kosovo politics and cast Kosovo as aggressive, without presenting verifiable facts.
