EULEX on Kosovo Police action: We were not informed in advance

EULEX has stated that they were not informed in advance about today's action by the Kosovo police.

"We were not informed in advance. We are monitoring in North Mitrovica and Zvecan," EULEX responded to Kosovo Online when asked if they had been notified about the Kosovo police's raids on the Postal Savings Bank branches in northern Kosovo.

To recap, the coordinated action by the Kosovo police and the raids on the Postal Savings Bank branches began simultaneously around 3 PM today in all four northern municipalities: North Mitrovica, Leposavic, Zvecan, and Zubin Potok.

After the raids, bank clients who were inside the branches at the time left the premises. Outside the bank buildings in all four municipalities, Kosovo police officers armed with long-barreled weapons were stationed.

According to reports, members of special units have been deployed at multiple points on the streets leading to the banks.
