Facebook page “Al Press Time" on Thursday (April 16) published a post, through which it claims that professor at the London School of Economics (LSE), James Ker-Lindsay, has stated that the Serbian secret service has a special department that deals only with the Kosovar diaspora and that the greatest hatred towards the KLA stems from this direction. According to this claim, it is said that the Serbian analytical service has managed to dominate in this field.
