UK calls on Kosovo to stabilize situation in the north

Cleverly met in London with Kurti and informed him about the concrete steps the Kosovo Government is expected to take to reduce tensions – ensuring that the mayors of four northern municipalities can work from alternative locations, removing special police units from the municipal buildings, and taking steps towards new, inclusive elections, reported Radio Free Europe.

“As I made clear to Prime Minister Kurti, continued tensions put at risk the hard-won gains achieved in Kosovo over the years together with the UK and international partners,” said the press release.

The UK Foreign Secretary stressed that Serbia and Kosovo have to avoid any further inflammatory actions or rhetoric.
Kurti wrote on Twitter that he thanked Clevery for UK’s unwavering support.

“I also emphasized that rule of law will be our guiding principle in addressing the attacks on KFOR, police and journalists, and in preparing for new elections,” Kurti tweeted.
