Kosovo Police, Customs Service raid pharmacies in N. Kosovo

The Oreol pharmacy in Kosovska Mitrovica pharmacy and the pharmacy in Zvecan, which is located in the vicinity of the local health center, were searched by the members of the Kosovo Customs Service, assisted by the Kosovo Police Region North Directorate, KoSSev said.

The raids were conducted on suspicion of smuggling of medical product, reported KoSSev.

The Serbian Government’s Office for Kosovo and Metohija condemned the Thursday raids of pharmacies in Kosovska Mitrovica and Zvecan. (Kosovo and Metohija is the official name for what the Serbian authorities consider to be the country’s southern province)

The Office said this was “a new escalatory action of the Pristina authorities aimed it making life impossible for the Serbs in northern Kosovo and forcing them to leave their homes by depriving them of their basic means of living – the dinar, medicine and staples.”
