Hungarian premier urges Serbia to release Kosovo police officers
BELGRADE, Serbia (AA): Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban Tuesday called on Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic to return detained Kosovo police officers.
“We follow the events in Kosovo very closely and see what is being done to the Serbs. I respectfully ask you, President, dear Aleksandar (Vucic), to follow Hungary’s recommendation and return those three Albanians to Kosovo,” said Orban at a joint press conference after a Hungary-Serbia Strategic Cooperation Council meeting in Serbia’s northern Palic town.
Vucic together with Prime Minister Ana Brnabic met with Orban and Hungarian President Katalin Novak.
Serbia detained three people identified as members of Kosovo police last Wednesday on grounds they were “planning an action in Serbia.”
Vucic said this is a job for the competent authorities and that they will take every request of Orban into consideration.
According to the Serbian Interior Ministry the held individuals were equipped with automatic weapons in full combat gear with GPS devices, maps, and other equipment.
Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti said on social media that police officers were kidnapped by Serbia, demanding the immediate release of the officers and urging international actors to condemn the operation.
Kosovo’s Interior Minister Xhelal Svecla said Serbian forces had entered Kosovo’s territory.
