The rule of law mission in Kosovo, EULEX, has announced that it is closely monitoring the security situation in the northern part of the country, through their increased presence on the ground.
EULEX has emphasized that it is carrying out surveillance patrols, including foot patrols in northern Mitrovica and Zveçan.
"Given the unstable security situation in the northern part of Kosovo and the placement of additional barricades, EULEX regularly adapts its presence to reflect the situation on the ground, as well as in cooperation with the Kosovo Police and KFOR" , it was announced in the announcement.
The barricades placed in the north of the country have been standing for 13 days now, making life difficult for the citizens in that part, while the roads towards the border of Jarinja and Bërnjak are blocked.
Members of the Kosovo Police are continuing their patrols in areas with a mixed population in the north of Mitrovica, providing order and security to all citizens without distinction.
The so-called crisis headquarters in the north of the country, formed by local Serbs, has invited the protest that will be held today in Rudar, Zveçan municipality. Representatives of this headquarters have announced that the organization of this protest has to do with the recent statements about the barricades by the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, which they consider as a threat, as well as the German ambassador to Kosovo, Jorn Rohde . According to them, Kurti has called for the killing of the Serbs at the barricades and their disappearance, while the German ambassador is directly and openly supporting Prime Minister Kurti with his statements.
