Serbian Internal Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic said Kosovo MP “Bekim Haxhiu’s monstrous statement is a sinister warning of the evil and terror that Pristina will unleash on all Serbs, especially those living in Kosovo and Metohija.” (Kosovo and Metohija is the official name for what the Serbian authorities consider to be the country’s southern province)
“The most monstrous glorification of terrorism and of the murder of a Serbian police officer, by Bekim Haxhiu, is only proof that hatred and violence against everything Serb has no limits,” said Dacic.
He added that Haxhiu should be immediately arrested for this statement, but that this won’t happen because it aligns with Pristina’s official policy, which the international community is silent about and thus tacitly approves of.
“Serbia is responsible, it is committed to the policy of peace and stability and it is determined to carry out one of the most important tasks of any country, which is protecting its citizens from terrorism and extremism. Members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, along with other security services, are not afraid of the infantile statements by amateur politicians of a non-existent state and will resist any attempt at terrorism with all their might, and protect their citizens,” Dacic concluded.
Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) MP Bekim Haxhiu said earlier on Tuesday that he respects anyone who kills a Serbian police officer.
Haxhiu’s statement came after the funeral of Kosovo criminal Faton Hajrizi who killed a police officer in the Serbian city of Loznica after escaping from prison in Kosovo. Hajrizi was traveling with his brother’s passport and documents when his taxi was stopped by a police patrol. Hajrizi shot the policeman and fled.
