\u201cSerbia is an undemocratic country where human rights and minority rights are not respected,\u201d said Kurti. He further blamed Serbia for its continuous interference in Kosovo, which has escalated to terrorist attacks such as last year\u2019s incident in Banjska and the recent attack on the Ib\u00ebr-Lepenc Canal.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey send Milan Radoicic to us to carry out terrorist actions, while in Belgrade, they beat up students. From historical experience, we know how this ends. But it seems Belgrade has learned nothing from its past,\u201d Kurti stated.<\/p>\n
On December 16, 2024, \u201cInformer.rs<\/a>\u201d published another article about the student protests in Belgrade, this time claiming that Kosovo\u2019s Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, and singer Severina Vuckovic had joined forces to attack the state and Vucic.<\/p>\n In an effort to defend Vucic, this outlet implicated not only Kurti but also Serbia\u2019s opposition. \u201cOn one side, we have President Aleksandar Vucic, who is leading Serbia forward, modernizing it, increasing salaries and pensions, and striving to maintain peace. On the other side, opposition activists disguised as students receive support from singer Severina, who calls Srebrenica a genocide, and from the so-called Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, who is carrying out ethnic cleansing of the Serbian population in Kosovo!\u201d the article states.<\/p>\n Beyond distorting facts, the article is accompanied by manipulated photographs aimed at creating a false narrative designed to confuse and polarize the public.<\/p>\n To create a connection between Kurti and singer Severina, Informer placed their photos together, with a red background resembling the paint splashed by students during the protests. The outlet also mentioned Kurti's statements from Zagreb about the protests in Serbia again.<\/p>\n The student protests in Serbia began<\/a> on November 26, led by students from the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade. Their demands included accountability and prosecution of those responsible for the accident at the Novi Sad railway station. They also urged authorities to prosecute individuals who attacked students during an action expressing solidarity with the victims and injured in the Novi Sad railway tragedy, where a concrete slab collapse caused 15 fatalities.<\/p>\n Since the end of November, students in Serbia have been widely expressing their dissatisfaction with the socio-political situation. According to Serbian media reports, over 40 public faculties<\/a> have been blocked.<\/p>\n Serbia\u2019s President, Aleksandar Vucic<\/a>, and other government officials have accused these students of attempting to \u201coverthrow the government\u201d through their protests and blockades, labeling them as \u201cforeign mercenaries,\u201d \u201cthugs,\u201d and \u201chooligans.\u201d<\/p>\n This is not the first time<\/a> that politicians and media in Serbia have sought to assign external blame for protests, at times falsely claiming<\/a> they are being incited by Kosovo and Kurti.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/sbunker.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/121212-300x283.png\")
