Albin Kurti and Interior Minister Xelal Sveçla at the press conference |
Milan Radoičić is organizing new attacks against Kosovo. As nearly 3 months have passed since the armed rebellion in Banja, led by former/deputy leader of the Serbian List, Radoičić, Prime Minister Albin Kurti warns about the possibility of a recurrence of the scenario that reintroduced the fear of war in Kosovo.
During a joint press conference with Interior Minister Xhelal Sveçla, he did not offer evidence to support his claims but insisted on the involvement of Serbian state structures.
He stated that Radoičić, who is in Serbia, holds regular meetings with Belgrade's intelligence and pays other members of the terrorist group 2,000 euros a month. The head of the executive mentioned several locations in Serbia, including military training grounds, where he claimed that Radoičić's group members are being trained.
"Radoičić continues preparations for new attacks against Kosovo, holding secret meetings at BIA. Terrorist members are paid two thousand euros, they are sheltered in his facilities. Plans for attacks attempt to destabilize our country. Instead of handing over terrorists, Serbia is exploiting them for new attacks. Terrorism is a challenge for us, but it will not triumph."
According to Kurti, joint patrols with KFOR along the border with Serbia had so far thwarted the implementation of the plans. However, the Minister of Interior Affairs presented a chronology of the September 24 event with photos, maps, and drone footage.
Emphasizing that Kosovo police and its officials have been attacked 114 times since 2021 in the northern part of the country, Sveçla said they had provided sufficient evidence to confirm Serbia's plans for destabilizing the country.
