France concerned with the situation in the north: Lowering Tensions

In a foreign ministry statement, it expresses concern over the situation created there.

French MPJ strongly condemns the attack on EULEX police officers and other acts of violence.

“Piles show maximum content and sense of responsibility for reducing tension” said in France's Foreign Ministry statement.

France encourages Kosovo and Serbia to continue with the dialogue mediated by the European Union.

“Finance fully supports the European mediation, which should make progress in a comprehensive, legally binding agreement between Serbia and Kosovo and make progress in the two countries' prospects for a future in Europe”.

French diplomacy in response stresses that it will talk to its European counterparts at the European Union's Council of Foreign Ministers, which is being held in Brussels.

Tuesday is the fourth day of the settlement of barricades in the north near the border points with Serbia.

This was due to the arrest of a former police officer, Dejan Pantic, who allegedly attacked police in Zvecan, where a police official was wounded.

Events in the north have triggered reactions to the United States of America, Great Britain, Germany, and so on.
