And this is the harshest qualification I have ever uttered in my life. But, not in a way that I would liquidate them, the way they are trying to ethnically cleanse Kosovo to this day. Rather in a way that anyone who feels less of a resident of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia should leave it and go to their home country,&#8221; Paunovi\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She then spoke about her experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t have a picture from my childhood, I brought two of Uro\u0161&#8217;s 200 toys, we just locked the full apartment and left. When I returned, well five or six years later, and got the opportunity to see my apartment for the first time, it no longer had a single faucet. It looked terrible, they carried everything out like termites, they cut the radiators.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She also talked about how Serbs are returning to Kosovo and Metohija, how their children are staying, and how it will never be &#8220;ethnically clean&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The editorial office of Nova.rs asked Minister Paunovi\u0107 if she thought she had rushed into the statement and if she could clarify her stance, to which she replied:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I will soon publish an official statement.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\">to je taj kvalitetni sps kadar <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oTS1U2bX5U\">pic.twitter.com\/oTS1U2bX5U<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Radomir Martin\u2122 (@radomir_martin) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/radomir_martin\/status\/2076069604334387331?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 11, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is Sne\u017eana Paunovi\u0107?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the way, the official biography of Sne\u017eana Paunovi\u0107 states that she was born in 1975 in Pe\u0107.
