DASH: Arbitrary arrests of Kosovo citizens and policemen, escalating actions

The US State Department has called on Serbia to refrain from unilateral and uncoordinated actions, and has said that it expects the immediate release of the deputy director of the Kosovo Police, Dejan Jankovic.

In a response to Radio Free Europe, DASH called on the Serbian authorities to act transparently and in full accordance with the law regarding the Kosovar citizens detained in Serbia yesterday.

"Arbitrary or unjustifiably long detentions, especially if they target Kosovo Police officers, will be seen as escalating actions that undermine peace and stability," a State Department spokesperson told Radio Free Europe on April 18.

According to the Kosovar authorities, Serbia stopped over 1,400 Kosovars as they were transiting through Serbia.

Ten police officials were also among those arrested.

The authorities said that nine police officers have been released, while Dejan Jankovic has been detained for 48 hours under the charge of violating the constitutional order of Serbia.
