While attending talks in Brussels on the telecommunications agreement between Kosovo and Serbia, Kosovo’s Minister for Dialogue, Edita Tahiri, raised the issue of the arrest of the director for Kosovo Police in the Mitrovica region, Nehat Thaci, and demanded Serbian authorities immediately release him.
Tahiri, who is Kosovo's chief negotiator in the Brussels-led dialogue, said that Kosovo's delegation in Brussels will continue to apply pressure for Thaci to be released as soon as possible, saying “This behaviour [by Serbia] has damaged dialogue on normalisation of interstate relations.”
Tahiri also called Serbia’s actions “arrogant”, claiming that “instead of taking responsibility for genocide in Kosovo, [Serbia] is violating the Brussels agreement on free movement and the European Union should increase attention to prevent violations of the agreements.”
