MoD: Kurti’s allegations on SAF movement near administrative line disinformation

Jovanovic said a social media post shows SAF members in the Ground Safety Zone performing regular duties of guarding the administrative line and controlling the Ground Safety Zone, in accordance with the Military Technical and all other agreements that have been signed.

He added that SAF units perform these duties and oversee the implementation of the Military Technical Agreement in cooperation with the international peacekeeping force in Kosovo and Metohija (KFOR). (Kosovo and Metohija is the official name for what the Serbian authorities consider to be the country’s southern province)

The falsehoods and disinformation, which have proven to be outright lies many times before, are part of a bigger campaign led by the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government in Pristina aiming to cause greater tensions, deceive the public, create intolerable living conditions for Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, and avoid fulfilling the internationally recognized obligations, said Jovanovic.

He assessed that, in securing the administrative line with Kosovo and Metohija, “there is no place for the so-called Kosovo Police or the so-called Kosovo Security Forces since the UN Security Council Resolution 1244 and the Military Technical Agreement do not authorize any subjects, other than the international civilian and security presence in the Province and the security forces of the Republic of Serbia, to do so.”

Therefore, claims that the so-called Kosovo authorities closely monitor the situation for “any administrative line crossings have no basis in reality and show total disrespect for the agreements that have been reached,” said Jovanovic.
