Many Serbian citizens protested today in front of the police facility in the north of Mitrovica, against the arrest of the leader of “Serbian Democracy”, Aleksandar Arsenijević, which happened on Wednesday afternoon.

They demanded the immediate release of Arsenijevic, while holding banners in Serbian and English with the content “EULEX, what rule is this”, “Is the EU concerned”, “But let me go next”, this banner with pictures of Prime Minister Kurti, etc.

The vice-president of ‘Serbian Democracy’, Stefan Veljkovic, told KosovaPress that today the citizens are protesting against the repression that is being done to the Serbs by Prime Minister Albin Kurti.

“Today we are protesting against the repression that the government of Albin Kurti is implementing and we will continue to protest in the following days,” said Veljkovic.

The protesters, including officials of the “Serb List”, after about an hour of standing in front of the police building, started walking towards the main bridge of Ibri.

When they approached a bar in the north, which was full of Albanian guests, they started shouting ‘Serbia, Serbia’, thus provoking the guests who were sitting in this bar, while some of them came close to you, whistling in front of their faces.

Only thanks to the wise reaction of the police, whose members were lined up in front of this bar, any possible incident was avoided.

The protest lasted more than an hour and a half and the police watched the situation closely the entire time.
