The individuals on the barricades requested the president why they need to withdraw, if the Kosovo police, together with the particular forces that harassed the inhabitants within the earlier weeks, stays within the North.
“My opinion, and the opinion of my law enforcement officials, is that if we take away these barricades, they may chase us like rabbits,” stated former member of the Kosovo police, Aleksandar Filipović.
The president’s response, nonetheless, was very sharp.
“Have you ever individuals learn the papers??? Inform me one unhealthy factor? Present me. Listed here are the papers in Serbian? Present me one in every of our obligations, one unhealthy factor for us? Plus the one round Pantić. One other factor is what now we have collected. Properly, it collected for all of us.

However these ensures discuss with the safety forces, that are navy items, since Kosovo has no proper to take care of these forces as a military. For Marko Milenković from the New Social Initiative from Kosovska Mitrovica, the important thing lies within the police.
“When the barricades had been arrange, the explanation was the arrest of Pantić, however the trigger was initially the conduct of the particular Kosovo police, which has been current in growing numbers within the north of Kosovo in the previous couple of months, the place bases have additionally been constructed.

The federal government of Aleksandar Vučić agreed so as – to the combination of the police, the withdrawal of the Serbian judiciary, gave Kosovo a global calling quantity, Kosovo entered the Worldwide Olympic Committee, FIFA and UEFA, and Serbia agreed to the combination of the electrical energy system within the north into the Kosovo system.
In line with opposition MP and former diplomat Vladeta Janković, the final in a collection of rash and fallacious strikes was the abandonment of even that built-in police, which left the inhabitants utterly with out safety.
“What did we do? Now we have freed up house. The Albanian police entered that space. Albanian police arrested Pantić and different individuals. That’s why we raised barricades. And the scenario stored escalating and we did what suited Kurti. And step-by-step we acquired to the purpose the place Hill stated it was excessive time they had been eliminated. Right here you see, they’ve been eliminated. And the place are we now? Now we’re two steps decrease, as a result of we aren’t within the establishments, our police left the stations, returned the tools. The place had been you nowhere, what had been you doing – nothing.
