In Serbia, the Green-Left Front (ZLF) called for a criminal complaint to be filed against the Minister of State Administration and Local Self-Government, Snežana Paunović. It was claimed that Paunović stated she would have ethnically cleansed the Albanians in Kosovo and Metohija in 1998 if she had been in Slobodan Milošević's place.
The ZLF stated that the minister's remarks are incompatible with her duties and her position in the Socialist Party of Serbia. The civil society organization emphasized that Minister Paunović's statements constitute hate speech, which is prohibited by the Criminal Code in Serbia, and that she must immediately be held politically and legally accountable.
The statement also expressed that the minister's words directly threaten the security of the Serbian people living in Kosovo and could trigger instability in the region. The ZLF stated that this caused the Serbian government's current policy to be criticized by drawing comparisons to the dark era of the nineties.
