Josepp Borrell, head of EU diplomacy, says EU will not tolerate attacks against its mission in Kosovo
Head of EU diplomacy Josep Borrel stated that EU would not tolerate attacks on EULEX police mission in Kosovo and called on Kosovo Serbs to remove barricades from Kosovo roads.
“The EU will not tolerate attacks on EULEX in Kosovo or the commission of violent, criminal acts in the north,” he wrote on Twitter. Borrell also called on Kosovo Serbs to remove the barricades immediately.
The head of the European diplomacy has promised that EULEX will continue coordinating its activities with the Kosovo authorities and the NATO KFOR mission.
Kosovo Serbs on Saturday erected barricades on highways in the north of the province due to the detention of former Kosovo Albanian Interior Ministry police officer Dejan Pantic by the Kosovo Albanian authorities. Pantic, who along with fellow Serbian police officers from Interior Ministry offices in the north of the province resigned in November, was detained on Saturday at the Jarinje checkpoint at the entrance from central Serbia on suspicion of “terrorism”.
Protesters pitched tents overnight to stand guard at the barricades. Police in the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo from their side of the Jarinje checkpoint blocked the entrance to the province for cars and pedestrians from central Serbia to the north of the province.
