Serbian list, through a post on Facebook, announced that on the evening of February 1, the tires of the private car of Milan Kostić, president of the Provisional Authority of the Municipality of Vushtrri and candidate for deputy from this party, were slashed.
The Serbian List claims that behind this act are groups linked to Albin Kurti and Nenad Rašić, who, according to them, are nervous due to the loss of hope for victory in the elections.
However, this political entity does not provide any concrete evidence to support the claim made, leaving it baseless.
What is known about the case?
The Serbian List has reacted after the incident where, according to them, the tires of the private car of Milan Kostic, president of the Provisional Authority of the Municipality of Vushtrri and candidate for MP from this party, were slashed. They describe this act as a politically motivated attack, linking the incident to the end of the election campaign.
According to the Serbian List, this incident is an attempt to intimidate their candidates and representatives, who, as they claim, are targeted by those who do not wish the Serb community well. They directly accuse Prime Minister Albin Kurti and the Minister for Communities and Returns, Nenad Rašić, claiming that their nervousness is related to expectations of defeat in the upcoming elections.
The case of damage to Milan Kostiqi's car has also been reported to the Kosovo Police. According to the 24-hour report dated February 2, the incident occurred on February 1, 2025, between 19:15 and 22:00, in the village of Prelluzhe, Vushtrri. According to the KP, the complainant, a Kosovar male, reported that unknown persons damaged the rear tires of his parked car using a sharp object. The competent prosecutor has been notified of the case and investigations are underway.
According to the Kosovo Police report, the damage to the car was done by unknown persons and the case is currently under investigation. This means that there is still no evidence or data linking the incident to any political motive or to any specific group, as claimed by the Serbian List. Investigations are underway to discover the perpetrators and the possible motive for this act.
