The Chairwoman of the Human Rights Committee in Serbia, Sonja Biserko, has stated that the Serbian List is responsible for the entire situation in the north of Kosovo.
Biserko noted that following the actions of the former leader of this party, Milan Radojičić, this political entity no longer has credibility when it comes to protecting and representing Serbs in Kosovo.
She even expressed surprise at how the international community continues to support this political entity, which she claims has only one goal: to hinder the Government of Kosovo.
“The Serbian List is largely responsible for the situation in the north. This List has been financed by both Pristina and Belgrade, as well as by the international community, and has done nothing. The participants of the Banjak incident fled to Serbia, along with Radojičić. Its leadership has been discredited, or at least most of it has. That’s what I have been told by people I spoke with, because when I was there in the summer, they no longer have trust in them,” Biserko said in an interview with RTK.
She further explained that the problem lies in Belgrade’s insistence that these groups participate in the elections, trying to prevent other Serb parties that accept the state of Kosovo from running.
“It’s an attempt to block the Government of Kosovo and those who want to live in Kosovo, and this is a form of manipulation from Belgrade, a manipulation that the West continues to support,” Biserko added.
She also discussed the protests in Belgrade, where citizens have expressed massive dissatisfaction with the socio-political situation in the country. The largest of these protests occurred recently, with an estimated 100,000 people participating.
“The protests are the result of a number of very tragic events in Novi Sad, where 15 citizens lost their lives. Following that, a widespread dissatisfaction erupted, but it is very unique and differs from previous protests. It is something new, a novelty in political and social life, but it represents accumulated discontent. People are demanding more details on what happened there,” Biserko said.
According to her, none of the students’ demands have been answered, and although President Vučić has acted in a threatening manner, after the number of protesters grew, he began presenting some documents, though not complete ones. She believes that these mass protests will not stop here and sees early elections and the formation of a transitional government in Serbia as the solution to this situation.
