Right-Wing Coalition: Serbian Government Has Relinquished State-Owned Power Infrastructure in Kosovo to Pristina Separatists

The National Gathering coalition stated on Dec. 11 that the contract signed between “the until recently Serbian Elektrosever and the so-called Kosovo Power Distribution Company” not only means that Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija will now be paying their electricity bills “to a company owned by the fictitious state of Kosovo” but also that “Elektrosever has de facto become part of the so-called Kosovo energy system.”

All this was done under a complete media blackout, out of the public eye, while snap elections are poised to take place and during the outgoing government’s technical mandate, when no strategic decisions should be made, the statement said.

“It is especially scandalous that this topic has never found itself on the National Assembly’s agenda. Who decided, and on what authority, to sign such a contract, whereby the state of Serbia relinquishes its energy infrastructure in the country’s southern province,” the coalition press release reads.

Adding insult to injury, the coalition said, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has expressed his pleasure that the contract was signed. The National Gathering coalition comprises the Serbian Dveri Movement and the Serbian Oathkeepers Party.
