Serbia continues to pose a threat to Kosovo and its neighbors in the Balkans, said Kosovo Prime Minister Aljbin Kurti and compared the armed attack in Banjska a year ago to Russia's actions in Ukraine
Prime Minister of Kosovo Albin Kurti he assessed that Serbia still represents a threat to Kosovo and its neighbors in the Balkans.
At the Security Forum in Warsaw, Kurti justified the actions he took in the north of Kosovo after the armed attack in Banjska, noting that those measures were taken "in order to increase security and prevent Serbian and Russian influence."
He compared the armed attack in Banjska a year ago to Russia's actions in Ukraine.
"Serbia, which today is the same as it was during Milosevic's time, continues to threaten its neighbors, violating the sovereignty and territory of states, including Kosovo. It culminated in the terrorist attack in Banjska on September 24, 2024. Their goal was to imitate Russia's operation in Donbass in 2018. After the attack, our police confiscated thousands of weapons," Kurti said.
He stated that it is not an exaggeration to say that the police not only protected Kosovo, but also prevented an open conflict that could have international consequences.
"As long as Serbia continues to destabilize the north of Kosovo, Russia is trying to open new conflicts," Kurti said.
Speaking about the increased presence of the police in the north of Kosovo and the decisions regarding that part of Kosovo, he said that they were made "in order to increase security and expand legality".
"When we talk about protection and security, it is not enough to just be for it, but also to do it." Defending progress is the same as defending the people. In the north, we established new police stations, we opened gas stations, and the registration of companies began, and this represents progress towards the normalization of the north. We are committed to ensuring safety and prosperity for all regardless of ethnicity. "Today, more than ever, we need the help of NATO, Poland and allies to promote peace," he said.

Journalist associations condemned the dismissal of journalist Marija Šehić and accused the management of "Juronjuz" of collapsing professional standards, concealing information and ignoring the union's demands.
Although the opposition claims that a person who was not on the voter's list voted, the Kosjerić MEC did not see a reason to cancel the election.
In a public appeal, 25 members of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts accuse the President of Serbia of collapsing institutions, the media, the judiciary and the basic pillars of society.
Balancing between East and West gained a new dimension during the unexpected visit of Aleksandar Vučić to Ukraine. The German newspaper FAZ estimates that the President of Serbia managed to rhetorically satisfy all parties — but the question is how much longer this political gymnastics can last without shooting
President Aleksandar Vučić said that elections in Serbia will not be held before the end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027, while students gathered around university blockades say that the time for extraordinary elections is now. They point to a drastic drop in support for SNS in the local elections in Zaječar and Kosjerić
Vučić is not defending the state, but himself from the state. With a drum on his back and a guitar in his hands, this man-orchestra performs two or three of the same songs without hearing, with falsifications and falling out of rhythm. His government and politics are like that. In short - dangerous for the environment
Arrests of professors, punishment of people, firing of journalists... The regime of Aleksandar Vučić is shining and is yet to shine. It is the decadent phase of the regime, the one towards the end
The example of the elections in Zaječar and Kosjerić shows that the truth is not given, but assumed. Truth is a task that a citizen fulfills. She always wins
