Through a press release, KFOR announced that it was not in the area when three policemen of the Kosovo Police were arrested yesterday by the Police of Serbia, reports "Bota sot".

Full communication
The NATO-led KFOR mission was not in the area when three Kosovo Police officers were arrested yesterday by the Serbian Police. KFOR has sent a team to the area and established contacts with the representatives of the institutions in Kosovo and the Serbian authorities. KFOR is also in regular contact with the EU-led Rule of Law mission, EULEX.
We call on both sides to immediately reduce tensions and refrain from unilateral actions that could lead to further escalation.
KFOR is monitoring the situation and continues to fully implement its UN mandate – based on United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 of 1999 – to ensure a safe and secure environment and freedom of movement for all communities in Kosovo.
It also continues to provide the necessary security framework to advance the EU-led dialogue on the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina.
