The Kosovo Police Union has strongly condemned the attacks on police officers during Friday in the three northern municipalities - Leposaviq, Zveçan and Zubin-Potok - where the authorities assisted the mayors to enter the municipal facilities.
But the police were faced with stun grenades and gun shots from the protesters, where five police officials were slightly injured.
"Today, on 26.05.2023, the Kosovo Police, during the implementation of legal and constitutional authorizations, in the north of the country were attacked with various dangerous means by organized criminal groups, in which case five police officers were injured and material damage to their vehicles. The Kosovo Police Union is concerned about the health and life of the police officers who suffered injuries and wishes for a speedy recovery", the reaction says.
The union has said that the Kosovo Police remains committed to guaranteeing the constitutional order, creating a calm and safe environment for all citizens, adhering with dignity to the vision, mission and values of this noble profession.
"Always grateful to the police officers", it says, among other things, in the reaction.
