Jakupi: Kidnapped policemen being treated inhumanally by Serbia

Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora cabinet chief Sharr Jakupi has said Kosovo police officers, kidnapped by Serbian forces, are being treated inhumanally by Serbia.

According to Jakupi, Kosovo police officers are being given neither food nor water, while adding that one of them has not been offered such a request for medical care.

“Reports of deep concern about the terrible treatment of our three police officers forcibly kidnapped by the Republic of Kosovo, currently banned in Kraleva. Despite having extended 30 days of detention for the charge of unlicensed restraint, real crime is the shameful conditions they are facing. Deprived of food and water, the officers have undergone completely inhuman treatment. Adding insult to injury, an officer, in desperate need of medical attention, has been neglected, given only an inexplicable injection since his ban, he said.

He has said that inadequate medical treatment of Kosovo police is serious concern.

The fact that Kosovo's liaison office in Belgrade warned Serbian authorities and the diplomatic community of the need for medical treatment, only to be completely ignored by Serbian authorities, is a major concern, he has said.

We call on the international community to strongly condemn these atrocities and pressure Serbia to release our officers immediately. The silence and inaction equal to the”, he has followed.
