He commented on the raised tensions that took place yesterday in Mitrovica, saying that Serbian and Albanian criminals cooperated well amongst one another, but that the Government would continue to fight corruption and crime, regardless of what happens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the name of achieving institutional stability and the rule of law, we are fighting corruption and organized crime, which is multiethnic. Serbian criminals and Albanian criminals are perfectly fine to work together and they\u2019re doing it very well. What we want, is to fight them and we will fight them, regardless of what happens.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take yesterday morning, for example. It was a police operation taking place in four separate communes around Kosovo and everyone who was involved in this was Serbian, in fact, the majority of police officers, including judges and prosecutors. I believe that it is wrong to give the fight against corruption and organized crime a political and ethnic connotation. We need to cooperate as different countries of the Western Balkans against organized crime,\u201d \u2013 said Kurti.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/kosovo\/2021\/10\/14\/foreign-diplomats-butt-heads-over-altercation-in-northern-kosovo\/\">Foreign diplomats butt heads over altercation in northern Kosovo<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/kosovo\/2021\/10\/13\/tensions-escalate-in-northern-kosovo-as-serbian-minorities-clash-with-cops-during-anti-smuggling-raid\/\">Tensions rise in northern Kosovo as Serb minorities clash with cops during anti-smuggling raid<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/kosovo\/2021\/10\/13\/pm-kurti-reacts-to-tensions-in-northern-kosovo-linked-to-anti-smuggling-operation\/\">PM Kurti reacts to tensions in northern Kosovo linked to anti-smuggling operation<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kosovo\u2019s PM, Albin Kurti was at the Economic Summit in Skopje, when he said that his government is focused in fighting corruption and multiethnic organized crime.
