Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, said in the Parliament of Kosovo, that he is still waiting for KFOR to order Serbia to return the kidnapped policemen to Kosovo and to punish this flagrant violation of point 4 of the Kumanovo agreement.

Kurti said that KFOR cannot be silent about this attack and that it should have been prevented.

The Prime Minister of Kosovo also said that he has spoken with the ambassadors of QUINT.

“The government will do everything possible to free the three kidnapped policemen. I had phone conversations last night with the American special emissary Gabriel Escobar, with the ambassador Jeffrey Hovenier and I am coming after this meeting, a meeting with all the ambassadors, deputy ambassadors, heads of missions and other diplomats in the Republic of Kosovo where we informed them wide and long for the situation.

Now that it’s been 30 hours since the kidnapping of the three policemen and we still don’t have the statement of KFOR who was at the scene, I have expressed my protest for this silence, but also the request for an urgent response.

At the scene of the incident, traces of shoes heading towards Serbia, cars without license plates and especially plastic handcuffs of the Serbian forces were found. So they not only carried out the kidnapping, but also wanted to leave a mark. This is an aggression with arrogance, their aim was to make it known that they were there at that time”, said Kurti.

The Prime Minister of Kosovo has also stated that such an act by Serbia is aggression against Kosovo and KFOR.

“Two of them had health problems. The operatives were not part of the elite units as Serbia is trying to present. The fact that internationals are mobilizing for their release shows that everyone knows that the abduction took place in our territory, otherwise no one would talk about their release. This is aggression against our republic and KFOR. We will respond to such reprisals with law and order. There is neither going back nor submitting,” he said.
