The US ambassador to Serbia, Christopher Hill, today welcomed the news of the release of three Kosovo police officers and said that he now expected additional efforts to further de-escalate the situation.

"We welcome the news of the court's decision to release the three Kosovo police officers and we expect additional efforts to be made that will lead to further de-escalation of the current situation," Hill told Kosovo Online, commenting on the Serbian judicial authorities' decision to release the three Kosovo police officers pending trial, who were arrested on June 14.
