Kosovo PM tightens border security following ‘kidnapping’ of police officers
Kosovo Serbs block the street near the municipal building in the town of Zvecan, northern Kosovo, Monday, June 5, 2023.

KOSOVO’S prime minister today said that border security would be tightened following what he described as Serbia’s role in the kidnapping of three police officers.

Albin Kurti also criticised Nato-led international peacekeepers for not providing an official explanation of what happened to the three border police officers.

Mr Kurti says they were “kidnapped inside Kosovo’s territory” while Belgrade says they were “arrested” in Serbian territory.
