Baraliu: The construction of police substations in the north is a security issue

Constitutional law professor at the University of Pristina, Mazlum Baraliu, stated in an interview with Kosovo Online that he believes the construction of police stations and bases in northern Kosovo is a security issue, which arose due to what he describes as Serbia's "aggressive behavior."

He mentioned that especially after the events in Banjska, it was most likely considered strategically necessary, and that this was not only the assessment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the police. Despite claims that there is no cooperation with KFOR and the international community, Baraliu emphasized that coordination still exists because "nothing can be done without them".

"It is a security issue. Serbia behaved aggressively. They committed aggression, and it was military aggression, not terrorism, but military, state aggression. There are about five or six police substations in Socanica and other places, and this is for the benefit of all citizens because all citizens were endangered," stated Baraliu.

Last week, Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin Kurti inaugurated the renovated police station in Socanica, and the Mayor of the Leposavic municipality, Lulzim Hetemi, announced that a new station would soon be built from the ground up in the Lesak settlement.
