Josep Borrell, European Union for Foreign Policy and Security High Representative on Monday after meeting with the ministers, has said that “this situation should end”.
We are no longer willing to accept this”, Borrell said.
Since Central Election Commission officials tried to enter their facilities in four municipalities in northern Kosovo, to organise the first elections for this weekend (which was postponed), there have been attacks on police and CEC officials in the north. Shockers and even gun attacks have been tracking north these days. A police officer has been wounded as a result of the Zvecan shooting. A former Kosovo Serb police officer has been arrested for these attacks. Local Serbs in protest have blocked roads in the direction of the Brnjak Jarinje border checkpoints, which are temporarily closed. The United States and Britain have reacted after the roadblocks are blocked, calling for Serbia to remove barricades.
On Monday, Borrell warned that the EU is ready to send more personnel to the EULEX mission, a car which was attacked in the north.
The Council of Foreign Ministers urged both sides to give up provocations and end violence”, Borrell said.
