While Lajcak meets Serbs from🇽🇰,I,as MP representing around 100k Albanians in 🇷🇸,have repeatedly asked for a meeting to discuss discrimination issues,from disintegration to address passivization of Alb in 🇷🇸.Sadly,no positive response from Lajcak or his team.

All the chaos on the Serbian Parliament today has been characterized with government and opposition blaming each other on who is Albin Kurti’s collaborator!
However, we will continue our commitment for our rights in a toxic environment that is being created in parliament!
While Albin Kurti delivered his speech, RTS and three other Serbian TV stations halted Security Council session broadcasts.
Meanwhile, RTK aired Vucic's entire speech!
Now, in which country is there more tolerance?
President Vucic last night declared that in action of Banjska, among professional police of RKS, were also “trained criminals from Presheva”. I invite international community to act in prevention of any attempt by the serbian autocrat for revange toward Alb from Presheva Valley.
Thanks to 🇦🇱 voters , the Political Battle of Albanians of Presevo Valley, will continue on the 🇷🇸 parliament after yesterday’s elections!
We will keep confronting the Government in Belgrade with discrimination against 🇦🇱 in Presevo Valley !
While wishing Albania a Happy Independence Day, government in Serbia forbids by the law it’s albanian citizens to freely express their simbols and Albanian flag 🇦🇱.
The hypocrisy at its finest!
Vučić is still complaining about why the action of Banjska was not carried out by EULEX, but by the Kosovo police.
Apparently, for him it is not enough that KFOR and EULEX were in the VAR room.
It is impossible for the President of Serbia, who knows the prices of even the simplest products in the market, to not know that a super-armed group of Serbian terrorists were planning to attack Kosovo.
The kidnapping and than torturing Nikola Sandulovic-chairman of SRP by BIA,days after his visit to 🇽🇰 where he payed his respects to the innocent 🇦🇱 victims,the Jashari family &asked for forgiveness shows the real face of a state that is shifting from autocracy to a police state!
In Presheva Valley,Albanians comprise 71% of the population, yet only hold 17% representation in local and district state institutions.🇷🇸 constitutes mandates institutional employee numbers reflect regional ethnic structure,highlighting government discrimination against Albanians
“When state propaganda, fear mongering in front page headlines and lies to the Serbian people and the world about the safety and conditions of Serb Community in Kosova meets the truth, words are no longer needed – because Vucic’s face says it all!”
The 🇷🇸 gov. allocates roughly 500 mil € to the Serbian minority in 🇽🇰 yearly, but only 0.6% of that amount, less than 3 mil €, to 24 minority councils within its own country. These disparities reflect the gov's contrasting attitudes tw minorities at home vs srb minority abroad.
On 🇦🇱 Independence Day ,a stark reminder: Albanians from Presevo Valley get fines for raising 🇦🇱 flag, Serbian law prohibits its use for us, being the only country in Balkans to do such thing!
Serbia needs a new path, EU path, where citizens are treated equaly!
While in Medvegje, Albanians are being passivized & are wiped from the electoral voting list in their hometown residences, in Belgrade serbs from Bosnia are artificially given fictive adresses and adding them to the electoral lists for the political interests!
Crazy enough?
In the meeting called by President Vucic,I reaffirmed our stance:“We're not seeking government positions at the state level. Our sole focus is advancing Albanian rights! “
Discrimination should stop, diplomas should be recognized. Equal treatment should start.
If you throw eggs at the mural of a convicted felon for war crimes and genocide, you are declared a criminal.
If you organize and commit terror crimes - you are a hero.
This is "deep state" justice.
The approach of new government in Serbia hasn’t change, it’s the same as before! The dogmatic approach the new gov has, doesn’t do any good, nor for Serbia or Western Ballkans! We need a progressive and real approach if we want to move forward on our europian future!
In the last 20 years,primary school student numbers dropped 25% in 🇷🇸,but among Albanians in Presheva Valley, it's a staggering 58% decline-more than twice the national average.Alarming! This is the result of deliberately neglected minority from the gov,with active discrimination
Vučić would now like to cooperate with the "Western Partners", which he ironically called the "Collective West" until yesterday.
Is it a little late, Mr. president?
Aleksandar Vulin, who is on the BLACKLIST from the USA🇺🇸, this time is a candidate for the deputy PM in the future government of Serbia!
I wonder, what will be the comment of Ambassador Christopher Hill on this topic?
A quick comparison!Gov of 🇽🇰 has taken new employment measure,supporting up to 2000 jobs for Serb-majority municipalities north of🇽🇰.
On the other hand,2 Albanian-majority municipalities in 🇷🇸 are amongst top most underdeveloped,with lowest income and poorest municipalities in🇷🇸.
The chance of a more progressive society in Serbia is on the 17th of December! Our list with the number 13 for next parliamentary elections has the same purpose as always, battle for the rights of Albanians continues, as the prerequisite for a democratic state!
Secretary Blinken clearly said "withdraw the army from the Kosovo border". Vucic must decide.
Failure to comply may result in reinstatement of the Ground safety Zone. The Kumanovo Agreement enables this.
To be as transparent as possible, we are publishing the document with the requests we consider necessary to take the following measures, for the affirmation of the rights of Albanians in Preseva, Bujanovc and Medvegja, that we’ve submitted at the meeting with President Vucic!
Refusal of the permission to visit Presheva Valley for the Minister of Internal Affairs,Xhelal Sveçla🇽🇰 from the 🇷🇸 authorities proves once again that regardless of the elections,the Gov. in BG does not change,it remains paranoid for everything happening in Presheva Valley!
The visit of lawyer Čedomir Stojković to Prekaz is a brave act and a good example that need to be followed by other personalities in Serbia, if they want to prove that outside the official narrative for Kosovo, there is also a human narrative.
Had a productive meeting with EUSR, Mr.
@MiroslavLajcak
where we discussed discrimination issues of Albanians in Presevo Valley, from disintegration, non recognition of 🇽🇰 diplomas to address passivization of Alb in 🇷🇸!
EU path should be the only path for all WB countries!
Part of my speech on today’s session. New government in Serbia has nothing new in it, unfortunately, even when it comes to approach on minority rights!
Minister, release official data on pasivizaston of adreses in Medvegja, Bujanovc and Presevo and nearby municipalities from 2011 to 2023 exposes stark realities. Comparative analysis underscores blatant disparities. Targeting Albanian is discrimination.
In Presevo, Ahmet Beqiri is cherished by the people, accomplished in his field. Despite completing his studies with excellence in Bg, he’s unwanted from 👮♂️ institution. Discrimination against🇦🇱 persists, echoing in the neglect of professionals like Ahmeti. Let’s raise our voices.
The need for coordination between the 🇦🇱 Embassy in Bg & the Albanian political spectrum in the Presheva Valley,to address important issues and constant discrimination is evident!
We agreed on this with the H.E. Bardhyl Canaj, on his first visit to Presheva Valley!
"84 countries dealt a blow to Serbia's president, challenging his denial of Srebrenica war crimes and glorification of criminals. Vucic's lone allies? Autocrats and dictators. It's time for truth and accountability.
If the Serbian opposition has decided to participate in elections according to Vučić's terms, for what purpose are the "Serbia against violence" protests being held?
23 years since Milosevic's fall, Serbia stands at a crossroads: Democracy or autocracy? Anti-fascism or fascism? Reconciliation or enmity with neighbors? Closer to Europe or Russia?
very fruitful meeting with MEP
@LukasMandl
. We discussed the region and the rights of minorities. I wished him success in his re-election. Cooperation for justice and equality is essential.
Today I also met the MEP
@thijsreuten
to discuss the commitment to protect the rights of Albanians in the Presheva Valley. Continued cooperation is key to achieving progress in this direction. Tomorrow we continue the advocacy in the Council of Europe!
we started the meetings at the Council of Europe with E. Bičakčić - Deputy Director, H. Koneski and T.Beattie - Counselor in the Office of the CHR, M.O'Flaherty.The raising of the issue of Albanians in the P.V.represents a new phase in its treatment by the relevant institutions.
Encouraged by the EP's swift condemnation of irregularities in recent 🇷🇸 elections,calling for an international investigation and emphasizing democratic standards.Addressing issues like erasure from voting lists, affecting Albanians too,is crucial for equality&thriving democracy!
We listen: “Radoičić risked both, his wealth and his houses - he went to fight”.
Yes, same like the famous frame from “Black Gruya” that says: “We are going to war to fight, some of you will die, some of us will return”.
"The Ger. Amb. in Bgd pays respect to WWII victims of the Ger. Nazis in Kragujevac and Kralevo. In Srb government, denial of war crimes in Kosovo and BiH persists, along with glorification of The Hague convicts. it also builds statues for the WWII criminal, D. Mihailovic.
Inkurajues veprimi i shpejtë i PE qe dënon parregullsite në zgjedhjet e fundit 🇷🇸, duke bërë thirrje për një hetim ndërkombëtar dhe duke theksuar standardet demokratike. Trajtimi i çështjeve si fshirja nga listat e votimit, që prek edhe shqiptarët, është vendimtarë për barazinë.
Had a productive meeting with
@usambserbia
, H.E. Hill &
@OSCE_Serbia
amb, H.E, Braathu today, where we discussed the challenges of Albanian community in Presevo Valley.
The 7 point plan remains one of key document on improving the position our community and moving forward!
Përderisa me Konkluzion te Qeverisë 🇷🇸 po punësohet i gjithë personeli shëndetësor qe ka qenë i angazhuar gjatë Pandemisë,e njejta nuk po ndodhë në Preshevë,komunën me 95% 🇦🇱! Rreth kësaj, ju drejtova sot me një shkresë Qeverisë🇷🇸 si shqetësim i personelit shëndetësor shqiptar
It is unfortunate that in 🇷🇸, the main ideology is still albanophobia, what is more troubling is that even the pro-europian opposition didn’t condemn or reacted for this matter!
So it turns out that government and opposition in Serbia has one thing in common, Albanophobia!
