๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ธโŒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ๐Ÿ‡ฐ โ€” Serbian President to Unveil Serious Measures Within 72 Hours After Sharp Escalation in Northern Kosovo*

"It is now completely clear to us that Kurti [Kosovo* PM] wants the destruction and persecution of the Serbian people, and I believe this is not only clear to us but to everyone else as well." โ€” The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vuฤiฤ‡


โžก๏ธ Vuฤiฤ‡ further emphasized, "Serbia is not prepared, and as I have said countless times, it will not allow the persecution of its population. It is quite clear that the sole goal of Kurti's government is this."

โžก๏ธ President Vuฤiฤ‡ has announced that he will outline serious measures within 72 hours in response to the current situation in Kosovo*.

โžก๏ธ This follows his meetings with Miroslav Lajฤak, the EU Special Representative for the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue, and Christopher Hill, the US Ambassador to Serbia.

#BREAKING

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ธโŒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ๐Ÿ‡ฐ โ€” President Aleksandar Vuฤiฤ‡ has announced Serbia's decisions regarding Kosovo and Metohija, detailing that the measures are categorized into five key areas.

Hereโ€™s a breakdown of what they involve: โฌ‡๏ธ

๐Ÿ”ด 1. Return to the "Status Quo Ante";
๐Ÿ”ด 2. Kosovo and Metohija as a special social protection area;
๐Ÿ”ด 3. Resilience of Serbian institutions in Kosovo and Metohija;
๐Ÿ”ด 4. Establishment of a special Prosecutor's Office;
๐Ÿ”ด 5. Decision on the illegality of all bodies and institutions on the territory of Kosovo and Metohija after the illegally declared independence.

๐Ÿ”ด 1. Return to the "Status Quo Ante" (the state of affairs that existed previously):

โžก๏ธ Holding local elections in northern Kosovo and Metohija.
โžก๏ธ Return of Serbs to the Regional Directorate of Kosovo Police "North".
โžก๏ธ Reinstating Serbian judges and prosecutors to their positions.
โžก๏ธ Withdrawing Kosovo police special forces from illegally built bases and institutions in the north.
โžก๏ธ Immediate formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities (CSM).
โžก๏ธ Enforcing U.S. and EU guarantees from December 2022 and releasing political prisoners.
โžก๏ธ Restoring unhindered payment and postal services.


๐Ÿ”ด 2. Kosovo and Metohija as a special social protection area:

โžก๏ธ Special social protection area for Serbs living in Kosovo, including financial aid, material assistance, free textbooks, sports development, rural and religious tourism.


๐Ÿ”ด 3. Resilience of Serbian institutions in Kosovo and Metohija:

โžก๏ธ Serbian institutions and temporary bodies in Kosovo and Metohija will not be abolished or closed, preventing Albin Kurti [Kosovo* PM] from achieving his main political goal of removing and completely eliminating Serbian institutions and Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija.


๐Ÿ”ด 4. Establishment of a special Prosecutor's Office:

โžก๏ธ The National Assembly of Serbia will, within 45 days, adopt a law to establish a special Prosecutor's Office for prosecuting abuses, property usurpation, and violations of human rights in Kosovo and Metohija.


๐Ÿ”ด 5. Decision on the illegality of all bodies and institutions on the territory of Kosovo and Metohija after the illegally declared independence:

โžก๏ธ The National Assembly of Serbia will, within 45 days, adopt a decision declaring the illegality of all bodies and institutions established in Kosovo and Metohija after the illegally declared independence, as well as the nullity of their acts.

โžก๏ธ This will ensure that all activities and unilateral, uncoordinated acts of these bodies are legally void and have no legal effect.

โžก๏ธ Additionally, the Serbian president stated that a decision to declare an occupation of the southern province of Kosovo and Metohija will not be made.

โžก๏ธ President Vuฤiฤ‡ has stated that he will refrain from declaring an occupation, noting that such a declaration would grant armed groups in Kosovo and Metohija, regardless of their status, the legitimacy of an official armed force.

๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฑ โ˜ช๏ธ Kos Data: Albania is in the process of creating a liberal Muslim microstate, PM Edi Rama announced

The future "Sovereign State of the Bektashi Order", located in Tirana, would be about a quarter the size of Vatican City. Reflecting the tolerant values of the Bektashi Order, a Shiite Sufi group, the new state would allow alcohol, permit women to dress freely, and impose no strict lifestyle rules. Its goal is to promote a tolerant version of Islam.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Greece signed an agreement with Cyprus to go ahead with a subsea electric cable linking continental Europe to the East Mediterranean, the energy ministries of the two countries said on Saturday.

The Great Sea Interconnector (GSI) cable will link transmission networks of Europe to Cyprus in a project costing 1.9 billion euros, and later stretch to Israel. Developers estimate it could be the worldโ€™s longest such high-voltage cable at 1,240 km and the deepest at 3,000 metres.
