60 MPs voted for, while one was opposed and the declaration did not pass, as 61 votes were needed. Against the declaration was Initiative deputy Milaim Zeka.
On December 8th, during the crossing of the Kosovo-Serbia border, Serbian Liberal Party MP Slobodan Petrovic has been detained by Serbian police, where Serb skrets (BIA) was questioned for more than 4 hours.
The Commission for the Rights and Interests of Communities and Kthim, on December 12th, held the next meeting, where, among other things, it was discussed the illegal detention of MP and Commission member Slobodan Petrovic.
For this reason, the Parliamentary Commission for the Rights and Interests of Communities and Kthim issued a statement through which:
-They strongly want the illegal detention of MP and member of the Parliamentary Commission for Rights and the Interests of Communities by Serbian police. We consider this ban to be done in order to exercise pressure and threaten MP Slobodan Petrovic's work.
They ask Kosovo institutions to take the necessary steps so that situations of pressure on MPs do not occur.
They call on the EU Office for Foreign Policy, by representative Federica Moghrini, respectively, to pressure the Serbian Government on the necessary clarifications on the reason and circumstances of this case, as well as the pressure to prevent such cases in the future, as well.
-We ask Kosovo state security institutions to seriously handle this case and provide security for MP Slobodan Petrovic and his family.
