Elshani: Police confiscated alarm sirens in North Mitrovica due to disturbance of public order and peace

The Kosovo Police confiscated alarm sirens and related equipment in North Mitrovica since these devices have been used at different times to disturb public order and peace, Deputy Director of the Kosovo Police for the Northern region, Veton Elshani confirmed to Dukagjini.

Kosovo Police officers removed an alarm siren located on a building on King Peter Street in North Mitrovica yesterday afternoon.

Following information circulating on social media, Kosovo Online learned that several police officers had entered a building on King Peter Street and had taken out the alarm siren, which had recently been used to alert against the interventions of Kosovo Police special units.

In June 2019, the Kosovo Police even initiated an investigation into who ordered the use of the alarm siren. The then Minister of Internal Affairs of Kosovo, Ekrem Mustafa, stated that the police had launched an investigative procedure, collecting information about the criminal act.

The sirens used in North Mitrovica were also a topic in the local assembly of South Mitrovica, where councilors unanimously decided to ban the use of alarm sirens in North Mitrovica.
