Kosovo’s Foreign Ministry decides to forbid all Belgrade’s officials to enter Kosovo for "as long as Serbia's behaviour" remains as it is, N1 has reported.

Jetlir Zyberaj, an advisor to Foreign Minister Behgjet Pacolli, wrote on his Facebook profile the decision was taken “after threats and attacks in the north, (where local Serbs create a majority) and other issues.”

“Due to hybrid threats Serbia makes against Kosovo, constant propaganda and fake news about the country and our people…  the Ministry won’t allow any official from Belgrade to visit Kosovo, and all requests will be denied as long as such behaviour continues,” Zyberaj wrote.

The ban follows Kosovo Serbs’ closure of business for two days in a protest over the import taxes on goods from Serbia which Pristina introduced last November. 

Zyberaj described the move as  “the recent attempt to prevent the so-called humanitarian crisis in the Kosovo north with threats to population and orders to close down businesses to meet some Belgrade's political goals.”
