普里什蒂纳和欧盟就班尼斯卡“恐怖袭击”报告争执不下-穿刺号

　　四个月前，欧盟称塞尔维亚武装分子在科索沃北部发动了“恐怖袭击”，并承诺在普里什蒂纳的调查结果出来之前可能对塞尔维亚采取措施。如今，欧盟委员会(european Commission)坚持要求科索沃当局提交一份“最终报告”，称他们已经向科索沃当局提供了贝尔格莱德参与袭击的证据和证据，并呼吁他们做出回应。

　　在班尼斯卡的袭击中，一大群塞族武装分子袭击了科索沃警察，导致一名警察阿夫里姆·邦贾库(Afrim Bunjaku)死亡，随后警方与三名武装分子进行了枪战，打死了三名武装分子。在接下来的几天里，警方缴获了大量武器和弹药，这让人们怀疑他们正在策划一场更大规模的袭击。

　　已确认的袭击者包括科索沃塞族政党塞族名单前副总统米兰·拉多伊奇，他后来被塞尔维亚总统称为“自由战士”，前部长和情报局长亚历山大·武林的前保镖博扬·米贾洛维奇，以及据报道与武契奇的儿子有关的另一个人。

　　欧盟委员会澄清说，如果发现国家参与的证据，可以对塞尔维亚采取措施。

　　Euractiv问委员会是否收到了科索沃当局的调查结果以及他们对调查结果的看法。

　　“关于科索沃编写的关于班尼斯卡袭击事件的最后报告，没有什么新的东西。我们还没有收到最终报告，”发言人彼得·斯塔诺回应道。

　　Euractiv随后要求科索沃当局提供最新情况。“委员会已经收到了关于塞尔维亚9月24日侵略行为的报告、证据和证据，欧盟应该做出严肃的反应，”一位直接了解调查情况的政治人士在不愿透露姓名的情况下告诉Euractiv。

　　他们补充说，也没有关于欧盟认为的“最终报告”的信息，但他们坚持认为他们已经收集了所有信息。

　　同时，英国外交大臣戴维·卡梅伦向议会明确表示，塞尔维亚参与了此次袭击。

　　在访问科索沃之后，他说:“我们必须对塞尔维亚政府的行为表示越来越失望。当然，我们并没有改变主意，给塞尔维亚一个欧洲-大西洋一体化的机会。但我认为人们对他们的行为感到失望，我们应该清楚这一点。我不知道欧盟和美国是否也有这种挫折感，你得问他们。但是，从我的谈话中，我感到失望，因为在班尼斯卡发生的事情是一个非常危险的时刻。”

　　他补充说，政府非常清楚9月24日在塞族占多数的该国北部发生了什么。

　　当被问及卡梅伦对局势和塞尔维亚政府介入的评价时，欧盟委员会发言人说:“我们不对非欧盟外交大臣的评论发表评论。”

　　上个星期，科索沃外交部长斯韦卡尔要求科索沃国家检察官公布调查结果，并表示有足够的证据可以结束调查。伊拉克总理阿尔宾·库尔蒂(Albin Kurti)也要求公布这些文件。

　　对欧盟对塞尔维亚宽容的担忧持续增长，人们提出了各种各样的假设，包括对移民的担忧。据悉，欧盟认为塞尔维亚的合作对于防止移民通过西巴尔干地区涌入至关重要。

　　The country is also home to one of Europe’s largest lithium deposits, an essential component for making electric vehicles. In 2023, the EU signed a letter of intent with Serbia for a partnership on batteries and critical raw materials, including lithium.

　　Furthermore, Serbia’s links with Russia, including political, historical and economic, mean the EU wants to keep the country close rather than lose it to the east. Serbia remains the only European country that has not fully aligned its foreign policy with that of the EU.

　　Meanwhile, Serbian elections held on 17 December have been widely condemned for being undemocratic and full of irregularities, with nationwide protests resulting in heavy-handed police action with some students still in custody.

　　There is no sign of the investigation into the vote as called for by the EU and other international bodies, yet no consequences seem forthcoming from the same corner.

　　When asked by Euractiv last week, the Commission spokesperson said simply that reform and improvement was needed “as the proper functioning of Serbia’s democratic institutions is at the core of Serbia’s EU accession process.”

　　This will likely do little to dissuade Belgrade, which has made little progress on EU integration since talks opened in 2012. Furthermore, only 33% of Serbs want to join the union.

　　The situation got even worse in early January when a pro-Kosovo independence Serb opposition politician, Nikola Sandulovic, posted a video of him laying flowers on the grave of a member of the Jashari family. Adem Jashari and almost 60 of his family members, including women and children, were killed on one day by Serb police during the Kosovo-Serbia war.

　　On 3 January, the family reported that a black van appeared in front of the house, and members of the Serbian Security Information Agency (BIA) seized Sandulovic, taking them to their headquarters and attacking him. Reportedly paralysed on one side and suffering multiple injuries, he is being held in custody with no access to independent healthcare, his lawyer and family say.

　　It is understood he will face trial for causing or inciting “national, racial, or religious hatred or intolerance among peoples or ethnic communities living in Serbia”.

　　Euractiv asked Stano whether the EU Commission would take any action over the incident.

　　Describing it as “alleged detention” and “ill-treatment”, Stano said they are “following this case closely and are in contact with relevant authorities and stakeholders. It is important to have full clarity of the facts around this case.”

　　He added the Commission expects the rights of all citizens to be upheld but left the ball in the court of Serbian authorities.

　　Serbia to have new parliament formed in matter of weeks, says parliament presidentSerbia will have a new parliament in a matter of weeks, and if a majority is formed, there will be no need for new elections, said Serbia’s parliament President Vladimir Orli?.
