The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, claims that Serbia "never campaigned" for the imposition of sanctions against Kosovo, in a direct response to the call of the President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, for the sanctioning of Serbia for the violence in the north of Kosovo.
The Kosovo Police was attacked by an armed Serb group in the village of Banjské, in the municipality of Zveçan on September 24, where Sergeant Afrim Bunjaku was killed.
In the ensuing fighting in the village monastery, three Serb attackers were killed.
Serbia has rejected Kosovo's accusations that it is behind the attack described by the Kosovo authorities as an "attempt to annex the north of Kosovo".
"Unlike them, we don't try to compete if something bad happens to Pristina or someone else. You never heard us campaigning for sanctions against them. We are not interested in this, we are interested in having a normal life, for the Serbs in Kosovo to have a normal life", said the president of Serbia in Granada, Spain, where he is participating in the Summit of the European Political Community.
Earlier in the day in Granada, Osmani said that there is no reason to meet Vucic, before sanctions are imposed on him for the recent developments in the north of Kosovo. But later the same day, the High Representative of the European Union (EU), Josep Borrell, said that he will sit "together" with President Osmani and President Vucic in Granada.
Answering journalists' questions, Vucic claimed that Serbia "never had any intentions to attack Kosovo or anyone else in the region". "What we need is a real solution based on facts and to really improve the negotiation process, to reach a compromise solution and not something that someone could dream about without offering anything from the other side," said Vucic.
Representatives of the international community demand an urgent investigation into the attack in Banjska before the justice institutions in Kosovo. Kosovo has announced that it will ask Serbia to extradite Milan Radoicic, until recently the head of Lista Serbe, the largest Serbian party in Kosovo, who claimed responsibility for the attack.
Kosovo accused him of being the main organizer of the armed attack. On October 3, he was interrogated at the High Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade and held in custody for 48 hours. Despite the Prosecution's request for 30 days of detention, the Supreme Court rejected such a request. Radoicic is currently free, but without a passport and with a specifically stated ban on going to Kosovo. Before Serbian justice, he is accused of several crimes, but not of murder./REL
