Reactions to the Serbian administration, which made racist attempts to re-blood the Balkans, rose. Leaders of Kosovo, Albania and Croatia and well-known politicians of the Balkans reacted to Serbia's war policies with their statements.
The Serbian State, which caused the death of millions of innocent people with its occupation activities in many parts of the Balkans, especially in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo in the 1990s, is preparing for a new demolition project. Drawing attention to Serbia's provocative provocations in the Balkan geography, Milli Gazete, in its news titled "One step beyond is the declaration of war" published in its issue dated September 18, 2021, stated that on the Serbian National Day attended by President Alexander Vucic, different ethnic communities other than Serbs in the Balkans were invited. He drew attention to the hate language used against him. In the days following the Serbian National Day, the Serbian government's provocative actions on the border with Kosovo and the unlawful detention of a former police chief from Bosnia and Herzegovina were the last straw. The leaders of Kosovo, Albania, Croatia and many politicians, who criticized Serbia's racist attitudes, reacted to Serbia's war policies with their statements.
SERBIA RETURNS TO THE POLICIES OF THE 90'S
Vjosa Osmani, President of the Balkan country Kosovo, where Serbia has increased its provocative actions recently, said that Serbia has returned to its aggressive policies in the 90s, when it carried out bloody massacres in the region. President Osmani, "Serbia creates and finances illegal structures in northern Kosovo, and they operate under the command of the Serbian state. In this way, Serbia threatens both the security of its citizens and the stability of our region. Serbia's destabilizing policy in Kosovo and the region and its hegemonic goal, which it calls the so-called Serbian world, resembles the policy of the 90s, which cost the lives of many people in our region," he said.
OPEN SUPPORT FROM ALBANIA TO KOSOVO
Leaders of the ruling and main opposition parties in Albania announced their support for Kosovo regarding the tension with Serbia. Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama stated that they will continue to stand by Kosovo as always in the tensions between Kosovo and Serbia. Lulzim Basha, leader of the Democratic Party of Albania (PD), also criticized Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic's threatening language. Stating that Kosovo is an independent country and has the right to act on the basis of reciprocity against Serbia, Basha said that the language Vucic uses reminds of the racist Serbian regime in the 90s.
“They shed blood, burned, killed”
Croatian President Zoran Milanovic said that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic was a name that had a role in the war in the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia and that he was proud of his role in this process. Defining the Serbian President as a "warmonger", Milanovic said, "They shed blood, burned, killed, and some people had a great influence in these massacres. I think Vucic is proud of what they've done."
FORMER PRESIDENT OF SERBIA CRITIZED HIS OWN COUNTRY
Former Serbian President Boris Tadic also harshly criticized the fascist policies of his country's current President Alexandre Vucic. Tadic said that Serbia, which has very bad relations with its neighbors, is the "biggest problem in the region".
"Serbia is the biggest problem in the Balkans. Today they have very bad relations with Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and even with some expected pro-Serbian political parties in Montenegro," Tadic said.
BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA GAVE A NOTE TO SERBIA
On the other hand, Serbia's detention of Edin Vranj, the former chief of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina's Organized Crime Department, at the border crossing, caused a strong reaction from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although it is claimed that Vranj was detained in the concentration camp in Gorajde between January 1993 and October 1994 for ill-treating Bosnian Serb prisoners of war, the incident was interpreted as a purely political and offensive move. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina sent a diplomatic note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Serbia regarding the issue.
