What is happening in the north of Kosovo?
The situation in the north of Kosovo continues to be tense. Two days ago (June 14) in the vicinity of Leposavic, 3 members of the Kosovo Police were taken hostage by the Serbian Special Forces 'Cobra'. The incident happened when the three policemen were patrolling the border, in the place called Tresave/Bare.
According to the Government of Kosovo, this is a response to the arrest 3 days ago in North Mitrovica, of Serb Millun Millenkovic, one of the organizers of the violent protests in the North. Serbia has rejected all claims. The situation escalated on May 29, when local Serbs clashed with KFOR soldiers guarding municipal facilities. That day, 30 KFOR soldiers, 11 from the Italian contingent and 19 from the Hungarian contingent were injured. The international factor has made continuous calls for the reduction of tensions and, finally, some have demanded the holding of new elections in the north.
