Kosovo’s authorities have said they are adamant about “defusing Serbia’s threats towards Kosovo’s territorial sovereignty” and would stop any Serbian officials entering Kosovo unannounced.
Serbia’s Minister for Kosovo and Metohija, Goran Bogdanovic was stopped from coming into Kosovo at the weekend, with authorities saying he was planning to come into the country “indirectly”.
Kosovo’s public television, RTK, quoted Kosovo police General Director, Shermet Ahmeti last night as saying that “the police has handcuffs even for Serbian President Boris Tadic”, if he attempts to enter Kosovo without announcing it previously.
Contacted by Balkan Insight, Kosovo Police spokesman Arber Beka asid Ahmeti’s statement had not been rendered accurately.
“Kosovo’s Police are to take measures against everyone who breaches the constitutional order in the country, but no name of any President was mentioned”, Beka told Balkan Insight.
Deputy Prime Minister Hajredin Kuci said that the same measures would be applied in the future towards other Serbian officials trying to visit in the same manner as Bogdanovic.
“We will be careful and look at the agendas of their visits and whether they are in contravention to the legal order. We have been sufficiently patient,” he said.
