Yesterday, during the UN Security Council session on Kosovo, Serbia continued its well-known propaganda campaign, claiming that Serbs in Kosovo live under “terror” while speaking about “peace and dialogue.” Just hours later, at 01:00 today, Kosovo Police stopped Dusan Bisevac (21) at the Jarinje border crossing.
He was driving a VW Sharan with Serbian license plates BG2476-DD. Inside the vehicle, authorities found 900 leaflets with extreme nationalist content and a spray device. This incident immediately recalls the propaganda materials discovered after the terrorist attack in Banjska.
While Serbia was called to account in the UN Security Council for state-sponsored terrorism, it appears Belgrade has not abandoned these tactics, but is instead preparing new ones. When institutional propaganda at the international level is combined with concrete provocations on the ground, we are witnessing a clear double-track state policy: one discourse for the global audience, and another aimed at destabilization and conflict.
Kosovo and international actors must remain vigilant. In today’s unstable geopolitical climate, Serbia has repeatedly shown cooperation with anti-Kosovo actors and continues to employ methods of provocation. Peace cannot be built with speeches in New York and propaganda leaflets + sprays at Jarinje.
