The main roads in Kosovo are still blocked and the Jarinje and Brnjak administrative border crossings are closed.
The Kosovo Serbs protesting over the arrest of former Kosovo police officer Dejan Pantic are still at the barricades, while the police have also blocked north Kosovo, reported the Serbian state TV (RTS).
Pantic was arrested on Saturday and is suspected by the Kosovo Police of organizing “a terrorist attack on the offices of the Central Election Commission” and on the Kosovo Police prior to the holding of elections in four Serb-dominated municipalities in north Kosovo, and was remanded Monday in 30-day custody.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said Pantic was arrested “while bringing bread” to his family that lives in the building in which the Municipal Election Commission offices are located.
Vucic said the Serbian Government will send on Thursday an official request to the NATO-led international peacekeeping force in Kosovo (KFOR) for the return of 1,000 Serbian armed forces and police to Kosovo, in line with UN Security Council Resolution 1244.
Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani has postponed snap local election in four north Kosovo municipalities for April 2023.
