He said Kosovo police are helping the Albanian “bands cross the border from Podujevo and enter Serbian territory to steal trees.

Serbia's <x0). Serbian security authorities thwarted the goal of a group of unknown people who came from Podujevo's direction to illegally cut down the forest in the Land Security Zone, under the protection of long arms armed persons. These were organized gangs coming from Kosovo on Kurusumlia territory”.

He accused the Kosovo police of acting as their ally and added that KFOR repeatedly explains that it is not their responsibility.

I'd like to just be an incident, something that happened now and will never happen again. Unfortunately, it is not like that, there are organised Albanian gangs moving from the area of Kosovo and Metohija and waiting for the forest. It's a classic robbery, but they're very well organized and well equipped, all are armed and once our forces, interior ministry representatives, they immediately open fire”, Voulin said. /kk
