Prime Minister Albin Kurti received today in his office the senior management staff of the Kosovo Police.

Among them was Besart Ahmeti, head of the Special Operations Unit, who was the leader of the operation in the north.

Kurti in an Instagram post said that he reunited Ahmeti after 16 years as he shared a photo when Ahmeti had arrested Kurti at that time during a Vetëvendosje protest.

“In my office at the Prime Minister, today I received the Minister of Interior and senior leader of the Kosovo Police. Among them was Besart Ahmeti, whom I reunited closely after 16 years. Captain Ahmeti has professionally led the police of the special unit in Brnjak and has conducted excellent field negotiations there. We did not shake hands because of the pandemic.

Rashit Qalaj, former director of the Kosovo Police has reacted after the talks in Brussels between Kosovo and Serbia under the leadership of the European Union envoy for dialogue, Miroslav Lajçak, it was decided that the northern part will continue to be controlled by KFOR.

He said on the ATV show “CONTEXT” that he does not agree with KFOR forces taking on the role of monitoring the roads in the north of the country, adding that it is not necessary for Kosovo to go back several years.

“It’s strange how it is published before an agreement is reached, if that is the case. I think that informing the public on the points that have been discussed before the agreement is reached, I think that it is not good, at least it hurts the Kosovar side who are in dialogue. On the other hand, I welcome any agreement, but I am against KFOR forces taking over the role of monitoring the roads there from the Kosovo Police. I think that if there is no need for the Special Units to stay on the roads leading to the border crossings in Brnjak and Jarinje, then the ordinary police, traffic police and border police and other ordinary units should gradually patrol those roads, initially reinforced with the Special Unit and gradually the Special Unit officers withdraw. There is nothing wrong if a KFOR patrol stays there, but the Kosovo Police should be responsible all the time because it is also responsible according to the law and the constitution and there is no need to go back a few years to clear our roads. “Patrol and monitor KFOR,” he said.

Qalaj further added that it is the duty of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Government of Kosovo to coordinate with the international political spectrum for such police operations as the one in the north of the country.

“For police operations, the police do not need to coordinate with the international political spectrum, but this is the task of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Government. “As for the cooperation with the Security Institutions in this case, EULEX and KFOR in the past there has been cooperation, but there has never been a request from the Kosovo Police to engage EULEX and KFOR”, said Qalaj.

Kosovo Police is drone monitoring the northern part of the country.

The situation in the north of the country continues to be calm, despite the blockades created by local Serbs, as a sign of protest against the measure of reciprocity with license plates, imposed by the Government of Kosovo, Telegrafi reports.

Otherwise, three helicopters of the Serbian Armed Forces were seen this afternoon flying in the territory of Serbia, near the border points in Jarina and Brnjak.

Security expert Agim Musliu considers the demonstration of the Serbian Air Force a direct threat to Kosovo by the Serbian Army.

“The three Serbian military helicopters, of the ‘Gazela’ type, seem to have violated the Kumanovo Agreement and the agreement with NATO, because they have entered territory where they are not allowed to enter,” Musliu told ATV.

Today is the fifth day that Serbs are blocking roads in Jarina and Brnjak. / Telegraphy /

Former director of the Kosovo Police, Rashit Qalaj states that the blocking of roads in the north of the country can not continue for long. He says that the barricades should be removed as soon as possible and that the Kosovo Police has all the capacities to open the road there.

Qalaj says that the longer stay of Serbs on the streets in Jarinje and Brnjak, can further strain the situation, adding that it is more than necessary that these roads be opened as soon as possible.

In an interview with KosovaPress, the former police chief also talks about the Russians who were seen among the Serbs in the north, for which he says that the Russians will always support the Serbian extremists to destabilize Kosovo.

“The intervention or not of the police, I believe should be done when the conditions are ripe. At the moment I am very sure that they are waiting for a signal from the Kosovo government, and let’s not forget that only the Kosovo Police can intervene to open the road. It is not an easy operation… but the police have the capacity. How urgent it is depends on the political developments that are taking place that we probably do not know. “But I consider that in infinity it is not possible to stay in this way, by blocking the roads”, he says.

Qalaj says that despite the fact that the situation looks calm on the outside, the situation in the north is tense.

According to him, those Serbs who are now staying for 6 days at the border crossings in Jarinje and Brnjak, are aiming to escalate the situation. While he says that it is the Kosovo Police that is being shown correctly and is not falling for the malicious provocations of the Serbs.

“I consider that beyond this facade, which seems calm, the situation is very tense, since you know that those people who are there seem to be stagnant, most of them are not even willingly forced by the structure, whether municipal or other parallel to the Serbian system and I consider that especially now the recent propaganda campaign of Serbia in relation to some cases that have occurred, as if the Kosovo Police is harassing someone on the streets in municipalities with Serb communities, I believe there is no other explanation than the attempt to presented and made the situation as tense as possible “, says Qalaj.

The former police chief says that despite Serbia’s propaganda to incite international pressure on Kosovo, there should be no withdrawal from the government to implement reciprocity on license plates.

“The relations between Serbia and Kosovo are the same, only the differences we have are revealed and Serbia’s appetite to interfere in the internal affairs of Kosovo. “I think that the government’s decision should be implemented to the end, it should absolutely not be withdrawn, despite the pressures that may be exerted by international circles, where at the same time we should go towards the fastest solution to open the roads”, he emphasizes .

Regarding the presence of Russians who were seen among Serbs in the north on Thursday, Qalaj says that such a thing is expected from those who do not want the best for Kosovo.

“Nothing new. There have been situations in the past that elements who do not want the best for Kosovo, enter Kosovo and operate against Kosovo, against its institutions, and what has happened… will happen in the future that always t ‘support Serb extremists to destabilize Kosovo. “And the good fortune is that day by day it is seen that Kosovo has consolidated institutions, which are able to face any challenge”, he says.

For 6 days now, some Serbs, in protest against the decision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kosovo for reciprocity on license plates, have blocked the roads at the border crossings in Jarinje and Brnjak.

During these days they have constantly provoked the Kosovo Police, while on Thursday they staged as if three of them were beaten by the Kosovo Special Unit.

Kosovo Police (KP) through a press release has clarified that only KP officials are involved in the action in the north.

This reaction of the Police comes after some Serbian media reported that the Kosovo Special Forces have also gone to the north.

In response, it is stated that the Kosovo Police as a law enforcement institution, based on its duties and legal and constitutional powers is committed to maintaining order, guaranteeing public safety and, among others, the management and control of border traffic at the level country.

“In order to carry out police duties and authorizations, in certain operations the necessary operational planning is done, including human resource planning and logistics, depending on the nature and operational need.

It is worth mentioning that in the police operation which is being carried out at the national level, including in the northern part of the Republic of Kosovo, only officials of the Kosovo Police are involved, while the claims and speculations of some Serbian media that in this operation are other security agencies involved are also untrue.

Therefore, the Kosovo Police in order to properly inform the public, through this official information reacts and once denies the writings of some Serbian media / portals “, continues the explanation of the Police.

Otherwise, one day after the decision of the Government of Kosovo to apply reciprocity with Serbia for vehicle license plates, reactions have continued regarding this step taken by the authorities in Kosovo.

Local Serbs, opposing such a measure, today continued to block the roads leading to the border crossing points in northern Kosovo Jarina and Brnjak in northern Kosovo, while there are members of the Special Police Unit Kosovo. Meanwhile, at other border crossings with Serbia, the movement has developed normally, respecting the measures of reciprocity, ie the placement of test plates, for vehicles with Serbian license plates entering Kosovo.

On Monday, the Government of Kosovo decided that drivers from Serbia, upon entering Kosovo, change or cover their license plates and obtain a temporary registration in Kosovo.

With this decision, the Government of Kosovo has said that it has imposed the measure of reciprocity for Serbian license plates, as a similar thing Serbia has applied for cars from Kosovo for more than ten years. / Telegraphy /
