The Supreme Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrel again called to take measures to immediately reduce tension in Kosovo.
“Patience of the EU participating countries is almost running out,” said Borrel at a press conference following a meeting with the Prime Minister of Albania Edi Rama in Brussels.
He recalled that the EU has repeatedly called for an early decrease in tension in the north of Kosovo and wait for the parties to start discussing the “road map” proposed by Brussels.
Borrell said that immediate actions are needed to reduce tension. “The participating countries end in patience in the face of a deterioration in the situation. It is necessary to urgently take measures,” he said.
Albanian Prime Minister Rama also stated that the deterioration of the situation in the north of Kosovo could have consequences not only for Kosovo and Serbia, but for the entire region.
Tension in Kosovo arose after the local authorities of police blocks in Leposavich, Star and Zubin flow, where ethnic Serbs live mainly.
A clash occurred between the Kosovo Serbs and the security forces. The Kosovo police reported that the heads of municipalities who won the local elections on April 23, appointed the security forces to protect the buildings of state institutions.
