EULEX: We demand that the competent authorities urgently investigate allegations of abuse against Subotic

The European Union Rule of Law Mission, EULEX, emphasized to Kosovo Online that they demand the competent authorities urgently and effectively investigate all allegations of abuse against Miloš Subotic from North Mitrovica.

Regarding the allegations of mistreatment made by M.S., EULEX welcomes the decision of the Kosovo Police to inform the Kosovo Police Inspectorate to initiate an investigation into these claims.

"The prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment is absolute. We firmly demand that the competent authorities urgently and effectively investigate all allegations of abuse," they stated in their response to Kosovo Online.

In this context, and in line with the EULEX mandate, they note that their role is to monitor investigations conducted by the Kosovo Police Inspectorate and, when deemed necessary, by prosecutorial authorities.

"We remind that through our monitoring and advisory role, EULEX remains committed to supporting the rule of law within Kosovo institutions to ensure they are sustainable, accountable, and capable of effectively guaranteeing the rights of all without discrimination. If serious deficiencies are identified through our monitoring activities, the Mission addresses them with the relevant responsible authorities," they stated.
