Jamie Shea, former NATO spokesman during the war in Kosovo, says that the presence of the Serbian army on the border with Kosovo is unacceptable.
He described this action as an unacceptable overreaction from Belgrade, for something that, as he said, is an internal issue of Kosovo.
"I was quite clear about sending Serbian military forces to the border for an issue that does not belong to Serbia, but is an internal issue of Kosovo. There is an overreaction, it is unacceptable to send these troops. They must be returned to their place. Belgrade should stop interfering in Kosovo's internal affairs. The north is an internal issue of Kosovo. My message is: Kosovo, work together with EU and USA! Despite the anger, don't lose the trust of your closest friends", he said in an interview for Euronews Albania.
Meanwhile, today the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, told the British broadcaster BBC on Sunday that he cannot compromise with the democratic republic, and that the municipal buildings in the three municipalities in the north - Zubin Potok, Leposavic and Zveçan - are assets of the Republic. of Kosovo.
Local Serbs have been protesting regularly since May 29 in Zveçan, Leposavič and Zubin Potok, to oppose the entry of new Albanian mayors into municipal buildings.
Members of the Serbian community boycotted the April elections, which were won by the Albanian candidates. On May 29, the protest escalated into violence between members of the NATO mission in Kosovo, KFOR and Serbian protesters.
During the conversation, Kurti admitted that the new leaders have weak legitimacy, but said that, however, "the others have none at all". The international factor has increased the pressure on the Government of Kosovo, demanding the withdrawal of mayors from municipal buildings and the holding of new elections.
The President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani and the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, have given signs that new elections can be organized.
Kurti was also asked about the attitudes of the international factor regarding his decisions and if he is worried about something like that.
He said that Kosovo considers the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Western allies as "necessary allies, and to which it owes its liberation and independence."
"But we cannot hand over our democratic republic to a fascist militia, which is paid by an autocrat in Belgrade."
