BELGRADE - The head of the Serbian parliamentary committee on defence and interior affairs Milovan Drecun said on Thursday the timing of Pristina's indictment against 45 people in connection with the September 24, 2023 armed clashes in Banjska, Kosovo-Metohija, showed that Pristina's PM Albin Kurti intended to use it for pre-election political campaigning.

ST PETERSBURG - Serbian Deputy PM Aleksandar Vulin met with Chinese FM Wang Yi in St Petersburg on Wednesday, noting that Belgrade appreciated exceptionally highly China's support for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Serbia and Beijing's principled position of not recognising the false state of so-called Kosovo.

BELGRADE - The chief public prosecutor of the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade Nenad Stefanovic said on Wednesday that, from the standpoint of the legal order of the Republic of Serbia, an indictment raised by the so-called Kosovo special prosecution office against 45 people for last year's armed clashes in Banjska, near Zvecan, Kosovo-Metohija, had no relevance whatsoever.

BELGRADE - The Director of the Serbian Office for Public and Cultural Diplomacy Arnaud Gouillon said on Wednesday Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija were deprived of the right to own property.

In a post on X, Gouillon included a graphic display of locations where Serb property in Kosovo-Metohija had been expropriated illegally to build bases for special units of the so-called Kosovo Police.

BELGRADE - Serbian Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabic said on Wednesday President Aleksandar Vucic would do everything in his power to preserve peace but would not abandon Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija.

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA - A protest over an arrest of four young Serb men was held outside the police station in northern Kosovska Mitrovica on Wednesday morning.

The protesters, who included the arrestees' family members, blew whistles and chanted "Release our children", holding banners that read "Kurtiland police" and "Is the EU concerned?"

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA - Serbian Democracy leader Aleksandar Arsenijevic was arrested by Pristina's police in northern Kosovska Mitrovica on Tuesday, Tanjug's correspondent reported.

The so-called Kosovo Police has still not confirmed the reasons for the arrest.
