 The European Parliament Rapporteur for Kosovo, Viola von Cramon, has reacted to the abolition of citizenship, the right to vote, and other basic rights for Albanians in the Presevo Valley.

She redistributed on Twitter a post by human rights activist Flora Ferati, who presented data on the decrease in the number of voters in some villages of the municipality of Medvedja.

Thx @FloraFerati - true. If you are full of fear you’d better not deal with politicians in the #Balkans 🌻 have a peace-☮️ and joyful Christmas everyone! https://t.co/oc8EuVnVWd
