(VIDEO)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Kosovska Mitrovica, Kosovo &#8211; The Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, <strong>Petar Petkovi\u0107<\/strong>, stated that the Kosovo Police stop at nothing, even harassing and intimidating Serbian high school graduates in Kosovska Mitrovica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The extent of Pristina&#8217;s hatred and intolerance, and its instruments of power, towards everything Serbian is evidenced by today&#8217;s unacceptable incident in the northern part of Kosovska Mitrovica, when several Kosovo police officers surrounded, pushed, and provoked a Serbian young man, a high school graduate, grabbing him by the neck and addressing him in Albanian. The question is what more would have happened to the Serbian high school graduate if it hadn&#8217;t occurred in broad daylight and in front of numerous witnesses, his fellow citizens and professors, because it is well known that the Kosovo Police, when it comes to Serbian children, overstep their duties, use excessive force, beat, and arrest without reason or question,&#8221; Petkovi\u0107 pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He assessed that this is &#8220;a picture of the disenfranchisement, oppression, and terror in which Serbs live and to which they are exposed in Kosovo and Metohija, and from which even children are not spared.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Such incidents provoked by Kurti&#8217;s Kosovo Police show that they are not in northern Kosovo and Metohija to protect anyone, but to provoke and intimidate Serbs and Serbian children. Every parent who witnesses such events is rightly concerned and outraged by such violent actions of Kurti&#8217;s mono-ethnic police, which has no business in northern Kosovo and Metohija, least of all grabbing Serbian young men by the neck, pushing them, and trying to separate them from their families and friends,&#8221; Petkovi\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He believes that &#8220;the footage of this shameful act should be seen by all representatives of the European Union and international missions, and they should ask themselves why children everywhere else in the world have the right to celebrate their last days of school with joy, while only Serbian youth in Kosovo and Metohija are subjected to persecution and retaliation from those who seek the slightest and most innocent pretext to demonstrate force over them.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DJ_8GaSodTh\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Zaporozac said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This incident, he stated, deeply disturbed parents and citizens who were present at the scene. Zaporozac claims that such actions represent a targeted demonstration of force and an attempt to intimidate an entire generation of young Serbs who should be the bearers of the future in these areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/bad-news-for-biden-former-president-diagnosed-with-progressive-prostate-cancer-spread-to-bones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">BAD NEWS FOR BIDEN: Former president diagnosed with progressive prostate cancer, spread to bones!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/horror-in-arilje-abuser-beat-and-threw-his-ex-from-the-balcony-then-pushed-a-neighbor-down-the-stairs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>HORROR IN ARILJE: Abuser beat and threw his ex from the balcony, then pushed a neighbor down the stairs!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/oklahoma-dashed-denvers-dreams-jokic-and-the-nuggets-remain-without-the-western-conference-finals-defeated-in-game-7-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">OKLAHOMA DASHED DENVER\u2019S DREAMS: Joki\u0107 and the Nuggets remain without the Western Conference Finals, defeated in game 7!
