Moscow accused the Kosovo authorities on Sept. 30 of “brutally and cynically” violating the obligations pertaining to the freedom of movement on the administrative crossing between Kosovo and Serbia.
The deputy spokesman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Alexei Zaycev, stated at a regular news conference that the agreement of Sept. 14, 2016, defined that Kosovo would extend the validity of vehicle license plates by five years, after which the sides were to reconsider the issue, with EU mediation if necessary.
In his words, it is clear that the reconsidering should have taken place at a negotiation table, with the participation of the signatories. Instead, the Pristina authorities deployed special forces, attempting to impose a solution that suited them, Zaycev stated.
“Thus, we see a direct, brutal and cynical violation of the Kosovo Albanians’ obligations in conditions of an unfinished legal process that should solve the freedom of movement problem,” Zaycev said.
