CEO of Telekom Srbija: Brussels Has an Obligation to Protect MTS in Kosovo and Metohija

The European Commission is responsible for monitoring the implementation of the Brussels Agreement and the rule of law in Kosovo and Metohija. Therefore, it has an obligation to protect Telekom Srbija from discriminatory actions by Kurti's administration, said the company's CEO, Vladimir Lucic.

CEO of Telekom Srbija: Brussels Has an Obligation to Protect MTS in Kosovo and Metohija

Lucic made this statement in response to the European Commission's position that it "does not want to get involved in the conflict" between Pristina and Telekom because "compliance with the regulatory framework in telecommunications is solely under the jurisdiction of the independent regulatory authority" in Kosovo and Metohija.

Recalling the attempt to ban MTS, a subsidiary of Telekom Srbija in Kosovo, two years ago, Lucic emphasized that Kurti’s latest attacks are “very dangerous” and that even the physical safety of employees is at risk.

He added that Pristina, through its media, is now creating hysteria that Telekom Srbija is supposedly part of some “hybrid special war against Kosovo.” This, he said, is a very dangerous narrative and appears to be a preparation for new, more radical attacks on Telekom Srbija in Kosovo and Metohija, expected to take place in August.

According to him, Telekom Srbija has held meetings in recent months with administrations in both Washington and Brussels.

"Two years ago, we managed to prevent the shutdown of MTS largely thanks to the engagement of the United States. The European Commission may now choose to respond as it wishes, but the fact remains that Kurti’s administration interprets and even brutally violates its own laws when it comes to Telekom — simply because we are a Serbian company that enables communication for around 30,000 Serbian households in Kosovo and Metohija and is of huge importance for the survival of Serbs in the province," Lucic stated.

He stressed that the European Commission does not have the right to stand on the sidelines.

He also announced that Telekom Srbija will pay dividends to shareholders for the 2024 business year in December, and that the dividends will be received by four million small shareholders and the state, with the state receiving about 1.5 billion dinars.
