He told a press conference that EULEX suspects him of organizing, supporting and involvement in terrorist groups, of incitement to ethnic and religious hatred, strife and intolerance, of endangering EULEX personnel, of calling for resistance and of participation in offending crowds.
He added that EULEX Prosecutor in Kosovska Mitrovica Neta Amin has demanded that he be brought in for questioning or arrested.
"The accusations are serious, but are not true and their obvious goal is to remove Serb political representatives from Kosovo", he said.
Ivanovic is convinced that a discreditation campaign is underway against Serb political representatives in northern Kosovo since the arrival of EULEX, which is implementing Martti Ahtisaari's plan in violation of the UN Security Council Resolution 1244.
