The Kosovo-Serbia conflict is moved to the Security Council/ Debate on the

Kosovo and Serbia exchanged accusations regarding the September 24 attack in the north of Kosovo, which, according to Serbian Prime Minister Ana Bërnabi?, was the result of "fear and terror exercised by Prishtina", while for Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani, it was "an act of aggression " of Serbia.

The events of September 24 permeated almost all discussions at the meeting of the United Nations Security Council, in which calls were made to bring those responsible to justice.

The attack by a group of armed Serbs that killed a police officer was claimed by Milan Radoicic, former vice president of Lista Serbe, the main Kosovo Serb party founded and supported by Belgrade.

The Prime Minister of Serbia, Ana Brnabic, said that "Serbian security structures have nothing to do with the group of attackers in the village of Banjska".

According to her, the events in Banjska "are a logical consequence of the fear and terror that Prishtina has exercised with all the calls for extension".

She accused the Kosovo authorities of "campaign of ethnic cleansing" and called for KFOR to take responsibility for security in the north of Kosovo.

According to the Serbian Prime Minister, the officials in Pristina have only three main messages for the Serbs: "those Serbs who fled after 1999 and those after 2004 have nowhere to return" The second message according to her is that "those Serbs who still live in Kosovo and they want to stay, they must leave" and the third message "the agreements reached will not be implemented. Those that have been implemented will be blocked and undone."

The Serbian Prime Minister said that the establishment of the Association of municipalities with a Serbian majority is inevitable and necessary for the implementation of other agreements and it "must be in accordance with the agreements of 2013 and 2015".

Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani said that on September 24, Kosovo "was the target of an act of aggression committed by Serbia through its terrorist and paramilitary groups". She said that Serbia expected to "succeed in its planned Crimea-style annexation of northern Kosovo."

President Osmani said that once again Serbia tried to minimize "the scale of this unprecedented security threat and act of aggression. They also want to distort the whole truth that unfolded before the eyes of the world."

She said the evidence shows that the group that carried out the attack was financed, trained, armed and received support and shelter from Serbian state authorities.

"Let me be clear, what happened is not the result of so-called "terror" against Kosovo Serbs, but rather a reflection of Serbia's strong and historical appetite for more instability, for more territory," he said. President Osmani, emphasizing that in efforts to advance the rights of every community, and in this case of the Serbian ethnic minority, Kosovo is ready to do even more for the Serbian community.

"But we will not give Serbia instruments through which it can destroy the lives of Serbs living in Kosovo and damage our sovereignty and independence", said President Osmani, underlining that we must not let propaganda win but must fight for the truth.

"There is only one truth that can be proven, that is that Kosovo was the victim of an act of aggression by Serbia; that Serbia is terrorizing the Serbs living in Kosovo for the sake of preventing their integration into the institutions and society of Kosovo; that Serbia wants the territory of Kosovo, which it will never take", said President Osmani, underlining that Kosovo wants the full implementation of the agreement reached earlier this year for the normalization of relations with Serbia.

Traditionally, such debates in the Security Council reflect the positions of the member countries regarding the independence of Kosovo, which was declared in 2008 with the support of the main Western powers and is opposed by Serbia with the support of Russia and China./ VOA
