2024-07-24 23:35:29 / KOSOVA
The Kosovo police have announced that they have arrested on Wednesday the suspect with the initials DD in the region of South Mitrovica, in connection with the attack on the members of the NATO mission in Kosovo, KFOR, in May of last year in Zveçan.
The Kosovo police in the north have confirmed that it is about the arrest of Dushan Drobac.
The violence in Zveçan erupted after local Serbs objected to the entry of new Albanian mayors into municipal buildings in Zveçan, Leposaviq and Zubin Potok - municipalities in northern Kosovo with a majority Serb population.
As a result of the violence, 93 KFOR members were injured, some of them seriously.
Through a press release, the Police said that the DOJ - against whom a criminal complaint has been filed in the Special Prosecutor's Office - has actively used violence in Zveçan and is suspected of four criminal offenses: association for unconstitutional activity, endangering persons under protection international, participation in a crowd that committed a criminal offense and hooliganism and assault on an official person.
On the anniversary of the attack on KFOR, on May 29, this mission has requested that those involved in last year's attack be held accountable.
Kosovo has blamed Serbia for the events in Zveçan, saying that they were carried out by "criminal groups close to the president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić".
However, Serbia has denied such an accusation, accusing the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, of intending to push the Serbs "towards a conflict with NATO".
Ten people have been arrested in Kosovo so far for the violence in the protests and for the attacks on KFOR members.
There are currently 4,700 members of KFOR in Kosovo.
KFOR is the third responsible for the security of Kosovo, after the Kosovo Police and the European Union mission for the rule of law, EULEX./Rel/
