Pristina starts probe into Serb official arrest

The move followed a request by a deputy Interior Minister Milan Radojevic from the Serb list.

Marko Djuric, the head of Serbia’s Government Office for Kosovo, went to the northern town of Mitrovica for a meeting without a permission form Pristina’s authorities and the police arrested him and dragged him handcuffed through a street in the capital to the police headquarters.

He was later released and expelled from Kosovo.

Radojevic said he demanded the Inspectorate’s probe by the end of March in order to establish any criminal responsibility of the policemen.

“The Inspectorate immediately responded by taking statements and finding facts,” Beta news agency quoted Radojevic as saying.

He added that the last information he got was that the issue was with the chief prosecutor Sulja Sucuri who would decide what the next steps into the investigation would be.
