Svechla publishes a video where the distribution of long arms in Mitrovica

Svecla, via video, responded to statements by Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq, who said the masked groups are there to protect local Serb residents from aggressors.

Svechla said these large-scale groups have infiltrated Kosovo from Serbia's territory.

Svecla said between July 31st and August 1st in northern Mitrovica, long arms were distributed until Kosovo police were attacked with deadly ammunition.

At today's conference, Interior Minister Svecla has said intensive investigations are under way for armed and uniformised groups in the north of the country, but that he cannot answer concrete questions for failing to harm the process.

He said these groups that attack the functioning of Kosovo's sovereignty and integrity enforcement are financed and led by Aleksandar Vuciq and the Serbian government.

“are becoming intense investigation into these issues, so I'd be a little reserved for that. But, we have consistently said that all groups which are organised in the direction of fighting the extent of sovereignty and maintaining the territorial integrity of Kosovo institutions, not only are they located but are also financed and led by Alexander Vuciq and the government of Serbia. And we have evidence of the presence of armed groups, uniformed in masks on July 31st. Our institutions are committed to identifying all of them. It is the first time that Serbia's own president confirms one thing that we have said before a time of”, Svecla has stated in question.
