Avni Islami: Serbia’s warning for June 28 has an ulterior motive and is not a coincidence

Security expert Avni Islami has assessed that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić is following the same rhetorical line as former Serbian President Slobodan Milošević, linking the symbolism of Vidovdan with the nationalist policies of the past.

He said that Serbia’s announcement of military exercises on June 28 cannot be seen as a coincidence, but rather as a provocation in security terms and as political pressure directed at Kosovo.

Islami underlined that Kosovo’s security institutions remain prepared for any situation, stressing that the Kosovo Police and the Kosovo Intelligence Agency are at a high level of readiness to prevent any provocation or possible incident.

Aleksandar Vučić, this imitator of Slobodan Milošević

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić’s attempt to revive the nationalist symbolism of Vidovdan – in a form resembling Slobodan Milošević’s propaganda at Gazimestan in 1989 – represents an attempt to bring back the old hegemonic policies that produced tragedies in the Balkans.

The fact that Serbia has announced military exercises precisely on this date of historical and emotional significance is not merely a coincidence, but a direct provocation to security and an instrument of political blackmail against the Republic of Kosovo.

Although these are outdated scenarios, Kosovo’s security institutions are consolidated and fully ready to prevent any kind of provocation:

On every June 28, the Kosovo Police increase their presence and monitoring in sensitive areas, ensuring order and the rule of law.

Likewise, the Kosovo Intelligence Agency is on high alert to identify and neutralize any tendency toward staging provocations or incidents.
