Kosovo FM: Serbian FM Dacic responsible for mass murder

The Kosovo Minister said Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic was former president Slobodan Milosevic’s “propaganda minister,” adding that the is “still performing this function.”

“The right hand of the butcher of the Balkans responsible for the Balkan wars is the person who just spoke before us. He has a lot of mistakes on his hands. There were no words of regret, but contempt for the victims instead…Dacic, now the Foreign Affairs Minister, is responsible for mass murders and violence and should be brought before the war crimes court,” said Gervalla-Schwarz in New York in English, Albanian and Serbian.

The Kosovo Minister said that she had asked to speak in Albanian at the UNSC session, but that her request was denied.

Responding to the accusations, Dacic asked Gervalla-Schwarz why former Kosovo President Hashim Thaci is currently standing trial for war crimes and he isn’t.

“Why haven’t I or the President (of Serbia, Aleksandar) Vucic been charged? Because we did not take part in that. And where are Thaci and (former Kosovo Parliament speaker Kadri) Veseli now?” Dacic asked.

He said representatives of UNSC members had an opportunity “to hear first hand what a dialogue sounds like,” and “just how much extremism there is.”

“You could hear that they do not want a dialogue, but further conflicts. You could also notice the racism when Serb DNA is mentioned. It is cleat that they are not interested in dialogue,” said Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Dacic.

He also commented the claims of Gervalla-Schwarz and other Kosovo officials that Serbs committed genocide against Kosovo Albanians in the 1990s.

“When you talk about Serbian genocide against the Albanians, 40,000 Serbs lived in Pristina in the 1990s, and today there are about 100 of them. If the Serbs had committed genocide, it would have been the other way round. Every meter of the Kosovo land is covered in Serbian blood,” said Dacic.

He added that Serbia wants a dialogue but that it does not want those who fail to fulfill their obligations to be rewarded for it, “as is the case with Pristina” regarding the formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities.

Dacic noted that Vucic did not sign the agreement in Ohrid and that any formal or de facto recognition of Kosovo and its UN membership are unacceptable to Serbia.

“Oral acceptance of the agreement also means having verbal reservations about certain positions. Plus, the first condition for the implementation of everything else (from the agreement) is the formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities (CSM). We will see what will happen on May 2 in Brussels (the next round of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue). You do not want peace, you are full of hatred, you want war, but we are not afraid of you. The international community should be afraid of you,” said Dacic.
