PRISHTINA, May 29 /ATA/ – Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti said that protests in the country’s northern municipalities were not peaceful, but they were staged by crowds of extremists controlled and directed by official Belgrade.

PM Kurti issued such a statement in the presence of the ambassadors of the QUINT countries on Monday afternoon

“Serbian nationalistic and chauvinist and pro-Kremlin graffiti painted by masked extremists who target, vandalize and attack any non-Serb things is the main indicator of the motives behind the violent actions that should be strongly condemned by everyone,” Kosovo government said in a press statement.

“Informing QUINT ambassadors on the situation in the country’s north and today’s developments there, PM Kurti underlined the need for de-escalation and expressed readiness to work with QUINT countries in this respect,” Kurti’s office said.
