Vucic lashes out at Members of the European Parliament:

You are not even scumbags, you are worse than that.

Kosovo's President Osmani for 🇵🇱 TVP World:

Vucic has convinced many in the West that he is sitting on two chairs. But he is sitting on only one chair, and that is Russia's chair.

The other one is pure acting, based on his experience as Milosevic's propaganda minister.

European Parliament's rapporteur for Kosovo, Riho Terras:

We call for the immediate end of EU measures against Kosovo. They have been unfair and unnecessary from the beginning.

We call on EU members that have not recognized Kosovo's statehood yet to do so.

“Suppose someone invented an instrument, a convenient little talking tube which, say, could be heard over the whole land... I wonder if the police would not forbid it, fearing that the whole country would become mentally deranged if it were used.” — Kierkegaard’s Journals and Notebooks, 1843-1855

The Kosovo Security Council convened today.

Serbia is blackmailing non-Serb minority MPs in an attempt to obstruct the formation of Kosovo’s new institutions, per the readout.

SCK also notes that Serbia is applying unprecedented pressure on Kosovo Serbs to attend a Vucic rally in Belgrade.

The moment the Vucic regime reportedly used sound cannons against the protesters in Serbia.

A long-range acoustic device (LRAD) or sound cannon produces sound at extremely high decibels and can lead to disorientation and permanent hearing damage.

Speaker Brnabic repeatedly uses a slur for Albanians amid a scuffle in Serbia's Parliament:

You have become the heroes of [slur for Albanian] media in Kosovo. You are the heroes of Albin Kurti. Albin Kurti is satisfied. This is just a fraction of how [slur for Albanian] media celebrate.

Happy Independence Day Bosnia & Herzegovina.

Few peoples have (re)gained their sovereignty through greater adversity & fewer still have had to continue to defend it for as long as the citizens of BiH. But in vain do her adversaries labor.

Courage & joy to all free peoples.

Bosnian Serb secessionist Milorad Dodik has been found guilty by the Court of BiH. He has been given a one year jail term & a six year ban on serving in public office. He has the right of appeal but this is an incredible, historic day for the people of BiH. www.klix.ba/vijesti/bih/...

Bosnian Serb secessionist tells RS entity assembly that “300 people from the Hungarian antiterrorist police” have arrived in BiH & will be conducting joint trainings w/ his regime police as he threatens secession.

Is Orban assisting Dodik's attempted breakup of Bosnia?!

An important thread that challenges essentialist notions about homogenous communities/areas in Kosovo (logics frequently applied to other countries in the region as well, esp BiH). Kosovo's north may be majority Serb but it is not exclusively Serb, flying in the face of pro-ASM narratives.

A thread of how well Vetëvendosje did in Serb-majority municipalities in Kosova, that also confirms that these areas are ethnically very mixed. In Mitrovica North municipality, Vetëvendosje became the second biggest political force.

Kosovo PM Kurti's VV becomes the first incumbent party to win an election with over 40% of the vote in 21 years, despite the global post-pandemic inflation, international appeasement of Serbia and the Vucic regime's repeated attempts to destabilize Kosovo.

It was a great honor to meet Chairman of the National Defence Committee of the Sejm, the Honorable Andrzej Grzyb. #Poland is a leader on defense and security in Europe. It was great to discuss 🇵🇱’s defense commitments & its support for #Kosova & the Western Balkans. 🇽🇰🇵🇱

Never forget.

"They screamed until they died."

26 years ago today, Milosevic's genocidal regime massacred 45 Kosovo Albanians in Reçak.

To this day, Vucic and other extremists continue to deny the massacre.

Kosovo's Central Election Commission has disqualified the Vucic regime-controlled Srpska Lista from the upcoming general elections.

The decision follows statements made by the SL leader, who attacked Kosovo’s constitutional order during the candidate presentation.

The EPP cabal to save Vučić's skin is in full swing: von der Leyen, Nehammer, Mitsotakis. They're siding with the EU's favorite autocrat - a Putin asset - against the democratic opposition.

Kosovo President Osmani:

The message we get is that the more you align with 🇷🇺🇮🇷🇨🇳, the more progress you make on the EU path.

Whereas, if you are at 100% alignment with the EU as Kosovo is, there's no progress for you.

This has nothing to do with a merit-based process.
