Kosovo detains a member of the Serbian Police

Kosovo authorities have detained a member of the Serbian Police at the Jarinje border crossing - which connects the two countries - on suspicion of unauthorized import of ammunition and unauthorized possession of weapons and explosive materials.

Kosovo police did not release the name of the arrested man, but said he is a citizen of Kosovo and Serbia and was arrested on Saturday morning.

He was taken into custody while authorities investigate him.

In its daily report on Sunday, Kosovo Police said that in the suspect's car, with Serbian license plates, they found and confiscated 51 cartridges, 9,900 euros in cash and 26,000 Serbian dinars.

"Personal documents such as the identification card along with the Serbian Police badge, the Serbian Police union card, the Serbian and Kosovo ID cards, the Serbian passport, a pair of uniform epaulettes, a pair of gloves and a USB were seized from the suspect," the announcement states.

His arrest comes months after Kosovo expelled two members of Serbia's Interior Ministry from the country on suspicion of violating national security and banned them from entering for five years in June.

The Serbian Government's Office for Kosovo said at the time that in total Kosovo had expelled 11 Kosovo Serbs who are part of the Serbian Police. However, Kosovo authorities have not disclosed how many members of the Serbian MUP have been expelled so far.

Meanwhile, Serbia itself has also arrested members of the Kosovo Police, most recently, police officer Arbnor Spahiu, who has been held in the northern Serbian city of Subotica since June 9.

Serbia accuses Spahiu of committing "grave murder" in Banjska - the northern part of Kosovo - where a group of armed Serbs attacked the Kosovo police in September 2023, killing Sergeant Afrim Bunjaku.

However, the Kosovo Police have confirmed that Spahiu was not a member of the police at the time./REL
