Kosovo police arrest Serbian politician

The news has confirmed the deputy director of the Kosovo Police for the northern region, Veton Elshani.

According to Elshan, Arsenijevic has hampered workers in the Northern Mitrovica municipality and has rejected police orders.

He was arrested near the main bridge over the Iber River, where municipal workers were painting.

The arrest of Arsenijevic took place on the day when a debate is held in northern Mitrovica on the opening of the bridge over the Iber River.

Representatives of the Kosovo government, of the Northern Mitrovica municipality, will participate in the debate, as Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has called on Serbs to participate in it for “affecting their concerns, which will be addressed by our institutional representatives and domestic institutions”.
