Director of the Office for Kosovo, Petar Petković, met today with the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Serbia, Aleksandar Bocan Harčenko, to discuss the political and security situation in Kosovo and the position of the Serb population in the region.
During the meeting, Petković informed the Russian ambassador about what he described as frequent violent and unlawful actions by Kosovo institutions, including alleged provocations and politically motivated arrests, which he claimed are aimed at pressuring Serbs in Kosovo.
He also highlighted the importance of Serbian-run education and healthcare systems in Kosovo, describing them as essential for the survival of the Serb community in the region.
Petković referred to the 13th anniversary of the First Brussels Agreement, stating that the formation of the Association of Serb Municipalities remains an unfulfilled obligation by Prishtina. He reiterated that Belgrade remains committed to dialogue in Brussels as the framework for resolving outstanding issues.
He further emphasized Serbia’s position that the status of Kosovo should be addressed in line with UN Security Council Resolution 1244, and expressed appreciation for Russia’s support of Serbia’s territorial integrity.
The meeting also touched on the role of UNMIK, with both sides stressing the importance of its continued presence and mandate implementation on the ground.
