President Aleksandar Vučić’s recent speech on Kosovo is not only irrational but intentionally designed to further the heightened ethnic tensions in Kosovo. While the legitimate concerns of Kosovo’s Serbian community should be acknowledged, Vučić’s remarks did little to address them constructively.

Instead, his speech promoted some positions that would only worsen the situation, such as the idea to establish a special Prosecutor’s Office for prosecuting alleged abuses committed in the north by the public officials of Kosovo.
