"On June 28, 2012 'pilgrims' from Serbia and Kosovo went towards Gazimestan to celebrate “Vidovdan’s Day” that Serbs consider it as their biggest spirit celebration.
Kosovo institutions respectively Kosovo Police has never stopped these visits even have secured them by accompanying their cars and buses. On the other the majority of visitors have abused these visits turning them into visits for illustration and promotion of chauvinism, nationalism, the distribution of ethnic hate, insult, calls for violence, political representation and religious hate, " is said in a communication of the Council for Defense of Rights and Freedoms.
According to KMDLNJ, the vocabulary used in this "pilgrimage" has shown a return to the past and choreography (t-shirts, posters and other signs), they have tried to rehabilitate war criminals or responsible politicians for war crimes in Kosovo.
KMDLNJ also mentioned the attacks and assaults of Serb pilgrims on the Kosovo Police and their provocations against the citizens of Kosovo, raising three fingers and chanting "Kosovo is Serbia".
"The minor or severe injury of 32 Kosovo policemen at the border in Merdare is a criminal offense punishable for those who exercised violence but also for those who planned the action to prevent violence by sending a small number of unprepared and untrained policemen and officers in the prevention of hooliganism. Kosovo police had to send special units of the Kosovo Police to arrest violent 'pilgrims' who would be punished with an accelerated procedure and then they would be expelled from Kosovo by imposing a precautionary measure to them to access in Kosovo for a certain time.
So is done at all normal countries of the world by protecting its officers, "is said in the communication.
According to KMDLNJ, with the failure of planning of Kosovo Police actions, dysfunction of the chain of command, hesitation of law implementation is discredited the Kosovo police. But according to this organization, the law should be applied by everyone regardless of ethnicity, religion, age, gender, etc.
"The implementation of double standards seriously harms the Kosovo police. But if it would be worked according to the law, there would not have been 32 police officers injured, orgy of chauvinist hate, stoning of Serb buses and other violent actions that are made in the name of human rights and religious rights. What happened in Merdare near Pristina, Mitrovica and Gazimestan is simply a planned violence in function of escalation of the situation in Kosovo. KMDLNJ is more concerned with silence and non-reaction of the international community in condemning the violence of Serbian hooligans whereas it was active in condemning the violence against Serbs, whose bus was attacked with rocks in Pristina. Violence must be condemned as violence and should not be standardized according to ethnic exclusivity ", is said in the communication concludes KMDLNJ.
