Srpska Lista has criticized the recent court ruling on the Banjska attack, describing it as “revenge” against Serbs and warning it could further undermine security and rights for the Serb community in Kosovo.
In its reaction, the party claimed that the verdict—two life sentences and one 30-year prison term—was politically motivated and not based on sufficient evidence. It argued that individual responsibility had not been clearly established and that the trial failed to meet standards of a fair judicial process.
According to Srpska Lista, the decision does not deliver justice but instead deepens insecurity and mistrust among Kosovo Serbs toward local institutions.
The statement also reiterated claims aligned with Belgrade’s long-standing position, alleging that charges of terrorism and organized crime are being unfairly applied to Serbs in Kosovo. The party framed the verdict as an act driven by political motives rather than legal principles.
Srpska Lista called on the international community to respond, asserting that Kosovo’s judiciary is not operating impartially and that Serbs are not guaranteed a fair trial. It further requested that any appeal procedures be handled by judicial panels with a Serb majority, referencing existing judicial arrangements.
Kosovo institutions, however, have consistently classified the Banjska incident as a terrorist attack and have handled the case within the framework of criminal proceedings related to terrorism and organized crime.
The reaction highlights the continued political divide over the case and reflects broader tensions between Kosovo authorities and representatives of the Serb community.
