"Wagner was involved during riots in the North", Kurti: My minister
Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti


Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti said that some of the people involved in the riots in northern Kosovo a few months ago were members of wagner's mercenary group.

Kurti gave an interview to Estonian media outlet Delfi, where he spoke about growing concerns about Russia's continued involvement in the heightened tensions between Serbia and Kosovo, especially in northern municipalities.

He said he had received "threatening letters from terrorists" regarding the seizure of a large quantity of weapons and ammunition in the north of the country by kosovo police.

The head of Kosovo's government also spoke of possessing evidence that "some of the Serbs who boycotted the elections were affiliated with wagner group, and some of them were members of the mercenary group."

Yesterday we seized a large quantity of ammunition and Kalashnikovs from a house in a Serb-majority municipality in northern Kosovo. Just before I came to the interview, I received another threatening letter from the terrorists, mockingly stating that the weapons we had seized were only a small part of their equipment," Kurti said.

Asked if he thinks Russia is involved in the tense situation in Kosovo, Kurti said there is "evidence that some of the Serbs who boycotted the elections were affiliated with Wagner group, some of them were even members of the group."

Kurti also said members of the Wagner group and the Night Wolves, a Russian motorcycle club known for its close connection to the Kremlin, had entered Kosovo from Serbia last December. According to him, these people had established close ties with terrorist organizations operating in the region.

"We have evidence that some of the Serbs who boycotted the elections were affiliated with Wagner, some of them were even members of the group. Some members of Wagner and the Night Wolves (a kremlin-backed Russian motorcycle club – red.) came to Kosovo from Serbia last December and have close ties to the two terrorist organizations. And a terrorist organization is sending death threats to me and my interior minister," he said.
