Serbia’s president has demanded that NATO-led troops stationed in Kosovo take over the security from Kosovo police in the north of the country
at a time when European Union and U.S. mediators have been pushing for a deal that would normalize ties between the wartime foes.
On Tuesday in Belgrade, Vučić met with ambassadors from five Western countries and the EU demanding that NATO-led troops stationed in Kosovo, known as KFOR, take over “all the security matters in the north of Kosovo instead of Kurti’s police.” Vučić also said in an Instagram post that these are “one of the hardest moments for Serbia.” Earlier, the government proclaimed a day of mourning on Wednesday because of “the tragic events,” referring to the shootout.
On Tuesday in Pristina, a Kosovar court decided to keep three of the six arrested gunman for a month in pretrial detention. They are accused of violating the country’s constitution and of terror acts.
