“KFOR is closely monitoring the situation in northern Kosovo. KFOR has full capacity, including personnel, to provide a safe environment and freedom of movement for all communities, in all of Kosovo's territory, according to its mandate based on UN Security Council Resolution 1244 from 1999”, KFOR Commander Angelo Michele Ristuccia said in a statement to Serbian media N1.
He adds that KFOR has increased its presence since October, including additional soldiers and patrols this week in northern Kosovo.
“We expect all actors to co-operate closely with KFOR and refrain from provocative expressions of force, to enable freedom of movement in Kosovo. KFOR will continue to fulfil its mandate under Resolution 1244 for all communities in Kosovo. We invite all sides to engage constructively to enable security and freedom of movement in Kosovo. The solution must be sought through dialogue”, said KFOR Commander Ristoccia.
Serbs in northern Kosovo have been blocking roads with barricades for the 11th day in protest against the arrest of former Kosovo police member Dejan Pantic. He is suspected of acts of terrorism by Kosovo institutions.
