The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Donika Gërvalla, had announced that at the request of Prime Minister Albin Kurti, he had issued the decision to declare non-women persons a Russian official of the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) in Kosovo.
Gërvalla reports that due to his activity, this official has violated the national security of Kosovo.
“At the request of the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, [sot] I have issued the decision to declare a Russian UNMIK official in Kosovo non-female persons due to his harmful activity, which has violated the national security of the Republic of Kosovo. At the same time, I have notified the law enforcement institutions and the relevant authorities for the implementation of this decision “, it was said in the announcement of Gërvalla.
As the Telegraph reports, this official is Andrey Nikolaevich Antonov.
Antonov has been engaged in magnifying the pro-Russian element in the blockades that had taken place in northern Kosovo in September 2021, when Serbs were opposing reciprocity measures with license plates.
Russian official Antonov first came to Kosovo in 2001, as part of a mission with Russian police, which lasted only about a year. He then returned from 2005 to 2008, eventually settling in 2011 to live in Gracanica with his wife Natasha.
Natasha explains to the Serbian media their connection to the Serbian Orthodox Churches.
“Here in Gracanica our godparents are Dusica Smigic and Darko Stankovic, who is married to Russian Julia. We plan to stay with them all our lives, even if one day we return to Russia, since then, maybe more than now, they will take care of the Serbian and Orthodox churches in Kosovo “, she explains.
It is not the first time that Kosovo declares Russian officials, namely the UNMIK Mission, undesirable.
At the end of May 2019, Russian UNMIK official Mikhail Krasnoshchekov was declared a non-woman after being involved in obstructing institutions, being part of criminal structures in northern Kosovo.
Krasnoshchekov had taken part in setting up barricades in the north, obstructing police. A chainsaw was even found in his UNMIK vehicle, which was used to cut wood to block roads.
The VIRUSSIA documentary, the security section, shows that UNMIK is being used to prevent the rule of law from extending to northern Kosovo, and that Russian officials in these international missions are being involved for other purposes.
In addition to declaring these UNMIK officials non-women, Kosovo had ordered the departure of Denis Vangerski and Alexey Krivosheev, officials of the Russian Liaison Office in Pristina. This request was made by the Kosovo Intelligence Agency (KIA).
Kryvosheev was also declared persona non grata by the Albanian authorities. Before serving in Tirana, the Russian diplomat had served in the Balkan countries, namely in Northern Macedonia.
