MP Duda Balje has been detained by Serbian police in Merdare

During this day, Kosovo Republic of Kosovo MP Duda Balje has been detained by Serbian police in Merdara, writes Periscopi.

Deputy Duda Balje himself confirmed this for Periscope.

It has shown that it was stopped at 8:15, which remained about an hour and a half at the border.

“Yes, crossing the border has stopped me and my family from being Serb police. We stayed there an hour and a half, and then we were released. They stopped us around 8:15 a.m.”, she briefly spoke of Perixop.

On 17 April, according to authorities in Kosovo, Serbia banned over 1,400 Kosovars for more than 20 hours at its border crossings with Croatia and Hungary, which were passing the transit between Serbia.

The European Union and the American State Department reacted to this, criticising Serbia for violating the free movement agreement between the two countries.

Among the detainees were ten police officials, including Serbian national Kosovo Police Deputy Director General Dejan Jankovic.

Even in the past, Kosovo citizens passing through Serbia have faced problems, with some of them being arrested by Serbian authorities under war crimes allegations. /Periscopi
