Serb List MPs verified their mandates: "Implementation of Kurti's plan prevented"

After that, they issued a statement.

"This strategic decision most directly prevented the realization of Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti’s plan and that of the Serb he sees as suitable to change the constitution and laws that guarantee the rights of the Serb people in Kosovo. The intention of Kurti and Rada Trajkovic, and others like her, was to vote for changes to the constitution that would lead to the abolition of the Serb municipalities, the seizure of the Serbian Orthodox Church property, the abolition of the Serbian language, the right to representation in institutions, etc," it is stated in the press release.

"This strategic decision will not in any way stop the process of withdrawal from Kosovo’s institutions in the north of Kosovo and Metohija, which shuts down all Kosovo institutions in this territory as a response to the violation of the Brussels Agreement, harassment of the Serb people and the trampling of all human rights".

“Finally, we wish to stress that our goal is to protect our people, peace and security, but also to prevent Albin Kurti and Rada Trajkovic from calling the shots for the Serb people and deciding on our lives,” said the Serb List.

Joksimović: The only mission of Serb List is to protect the interests of the Serbian people

At the press conference, representatives of Serb List explained their decision in more detail.

"In order to prevent evil-minded rumors and all possible speculations, we emphasize that today's verification of the mandate is a purely political act that does not mean that we will actively participate in the work of the assembly, nor will this strategic decision change the attitude of Serbs from the north of Kosovo and Metohija to leave all Kosovo institutions. Serbs in the north remain loyal to the decision to leave the institutions until Pristina withdraws the unilateral and illegal decision on the license plates and forms the CSM, as was also decided by the conclusions of the Serbs from November 5 in Zvečan," said Milan Joksimović.

He added that in the past few days, Serb List has obtained reliable information that Kurti is planning to appoint loyal Serbs to the positions of legitimately elected representatives of the Serbian people, that is, the Serb List, and together with them to start the procedures for changing the Constitution.

"If Kurti and the Serbs loyal to him were to abolish those articles of the constitution that define the method of voting by the double majority key, a Pandora's box would be opened for the Serbs in Kosovo, and Kurti would be able to take away most of the guaranteed rights of the Serbs - the right to use our Serbian language as an official one, to celebrate our Christmas and Easter holidays, but also for Pristina to change the law of vital importance, which would enable the abolition of our Serbian municipalities, especially south of the Ibar, confiscation of land from churches and monasteries, ban on displaying our flag, stop building houses for returnees, the abolition of guaranteed jobs for minority communities, the formation of the Kosovo Army, etc. Kurti could do all that, because in that case nothing would prevent him..." Joksimović added.

He said that Serb List will never allow it to happen.

"We will fight till the end, because the only mission of the Serb List is to protect the interests of the Serbian people, the peace and security of our citizens," Joksimović pointed out.
