The Special Prosecutor's Office of Kosovo filed an indictment against two people who worked in the only Serbian clinic in Pristina, which was raided by the Kosovo police in January and banned from working. They were charged on suspicion of engaging in "illegal medical activities", reported Telegrafi.

In the announcement of the prosecution, it is stated that the indictment was brought against N.P. and E.I, due to the criminal offenses "illegal performance of medical or pharmaceutical activity" and "production and distribution of harmful medical products".

The Prosecutor's Office accuses them of having, from an unspecified date until January 31, in a facility near the police station in the center of Pristina, as stated - "obtained illegal profits and, presenting themselves as members of an NGO and as doctors, provided medical services and treatments without a license from the relevant institutions of Kosovo and for these services received regular monthly payments from the state authorities of Serbia in the amount of up to 1,700 euros".

It is added that during the police raid, "herbs and medical products without Kosovo markings and without origin" were found in their possession, for which the necessary checks were not carried out by an authorized person or institution, which is why, it is stated, "lives and health of citizens of Kosovo were endangered".

On January 31, the Kosovo police raided the facility that the remaining Serbs in Pristina used as an ambulatory, and then the Health Inspectorate of the Ministry of Health of Kosovo imposed a temporary suspension of the work of that ambulatory.

The medical staff was then taken from the premises of the ambulance to the police station building, whose entrance is right next to it, and then released after 10 hours of detention.

It is about the area where the Komercijalna banka branch was until June 1999, and then the headquarters of the non-governmental organization Center for Peace and Tolerance and an improvised clinic that worked as a department of the Pristina Health Center with a temporary headquarters in Gračanica, in the system of the Government of Serbia.
