Al Jazeera: Who's behind Marko Djuric's arrest?

The arrest of office director for Kosovo Marko Djurovic on Monday is the first incident since Kosovo declared independence in 2008.

Serbia refuses to recognise Kosovo's independence.

The incident sparked a war of words between the two governments, accusing each other of organising a scenario, reports “Al Jazeera”, Periscopi broadcasts.

Djuric entered Kosovo for a meeting in Mitrovica, challenging Kosovo authorities without warning.

So there was the arrest of Djuric just an elephant way to try hard operations in Kosovo, following the Vetevendosje replica? Just wondering

Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Djuric confirmed that his arrest was a test of a possible effort by Kosovo police to take over the northern part of Kosovo, where a Serb majority lives.

Many political analysts and commentators in social media have argued Djuric's arrest was an orchestration designed so that specific leaders could postpone their agendas to the unstable region.

“What happened yesterday in Mitrovica has all features of a run crisis, each for its own reasons, from Belgrade and Pristina, while Djuric was only an additional actor,” commented a Serbian journalist, Dejan Anastasijevic.

The “Authorities in Belgrade, as well as those in Pristina, should sometimes remind the international community that they keep the keys to war and peace in Kosovo,” he added.

Speaking to Kosovo newspapers, Vuciq provoked Kosovo authorities: “” ] Whether you release it or not, they will come north of Mitrovica. Come on, let me see what you're gonna do about this case. ”

Shortly after that, hundreds of heavily armed border police were deployed along Kosovo's border with Serbia, as well as Mitrovica, pending Djuric's arrival.

Djuric's “Coming is clearly seen to provoke Kosovo authorities in using non-proportional force,” said Eastern European Studies professor Florian Bieber.

If there is a hidden element between the two governments it is impossible to say, it is a kind of incident that benefits both. The Serbian government could meet against the Kosovo government and raise its demands on normalisation talks based on the Kosovo government's unreasonable behaviour. The Kosovo government could celebrate its ability to arrest a Serbian official in the north, especially days after the demarcation agreement was concreteised, which nationalists call treason and give up on land. Thus, both governments come out victorious,” he added./Periscopi/
