200 units of the Kosovo police (ROSU), arrived to the north of Kosovo and Metohija. Their goal is to prevent the entry of the head of the Serbian Chancellery for Kosovo and Metohija Marco Djuric and the Secretary General of the President of Serbia, Nikola Silakovic.
Djuric and Silakovic planned to attend the action in Kosovo’s Mitrovica, which was timed to coincide with the anniversary of the beginning of the bombing of Yugoslavia by NATO forces on March 24, 1999. Also, the entry is prohibited to the Minister of Culture Vladan Vukosavljevic, who planned to visit the Serbian monasteries located in this region.
ROSU controls the transitions on the administrative border with Central Serbia, as well as the road on the Kosovska Mitrovica-Lesopavic site, the local Serbian portal Kossev reports.
The commander of the Kosovo police in the North region Besim Hoti told reporters that an “operational plan related to the decision not to approve the visit of representatives of the Serbian authorities” was announced.
Representatives of Kosovo’s security services, in addition to the police, were never present in the north of Kosovo and Metohija, where predominantly Serbs live.
Serbian President Alexander Vucic has previously announced a meeting of the Security Council in connection with the situation in Kosovo and Metohija. On Friday, he was in Brussels talking with the head of European diplomacy Federica Mogherini and the president of the self-proclaimed “Kosovo” Hashim Thaci. Today Pristina media reported that Thaci gave the decree to begin work on the formation of the “Association of Serbian municipalities”: this item of the Brussels agreements was delayed by the Kosovars for the fifth year already.
