KFOR: Kosovo Police informed us about the arrest of three Serbs only a day later

In response to the question of whether they were informed about the arrest of three Serbs on September 20th, KFOR stated in a written response to Kosovo Online that the Kosovo Police had informed them only the day after the event had occurred.

The KFOR response further recalls the statement made by NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg during a press conference with Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani, in which he said that "there is a need for coordination and close consultations between the authorities in Pristina and KFOR for any deployment that may affect our posture and security in Kosovo."

"He (Stoltenberg) also clearly said, 'We expect timely and meaningful consultations on any actions by the Kosovo Security Force or Kosovo Police that could impact the security environment,'" as stated in KFOR's response.

The mission also notes that KFOR Commander Major General Angelo Ristuccia remains in regular contact with the Kosovo Police and the EU-led Rule of Law Mission, in accordance with the procedure for prior coordination already agreed amongst these entities.
