Shaip Kamberi, the Albanian deputy in the Serbian Parliament, has announced that, together with his colleagues Ahmedin Shkrijelj and Minela Kalender, he has filed a criminal complaint against the Speaker of the Serbian Parliament, Ana Brnabić, for the criminal offense of inciting ethnic, religious and racial hatred.
The initiative came after Brnabić's statement at a press conference on July 30, 2025, where she said: "then we heard shouts of Allahu Akbar and other disgusting things," referring to the protests held a few days earlier in Novi Pazar.
According to Kamberi, hate speech cannot remain just a political issue or public morality, it is primarily a matter of legality and justice.
He stressed that Brnabić's sentence was not a slip of the tongue or a misinterpretation, but a statement that stigmatizes the Islamic religion, the identity of Muslim Albanians and other communities with the same faith, by conflating and associating them with the "disgusting", the "dangerous" and the "foreigner" in a country that has not yet broken away from the trauma of nationalism of the '90s.
"We have filed a criminal complaint against Ms. Brnabić for the criminal offense of inciting national, racial and religious hatred, according to Article 317 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia," Kamberi said.
Kamberi added that this action is not political revenge or sensationalism, but a call for justice and an attempt to set a precedent - that no one, regardless of position or privilege, can belittle entire communities and trivialize religious sentiments without facing the law.
"Justice is not a privilege of the majority. It is the shield of the rights of every citizen – even those who say 'Allahu Akbar' as an expression of faith and not violence ," Kamberi concluded, emphasizing that the rule of law must begin with the truth and confronting language that hurts, divides and humiliates.
