Kosovo police, KPS, will be taking over the protection of Serb cultural and historic monuments in Kosovo, according to reports quoting the KFOR commander. It was reported earlier that this role would be taken over from KFOR by the Kosovo Security Force (KSF), but Markus Benlter denied that. "KPS, not KSF will guard monuments" "The role of KSF is not to guard anything. Their role has nothing to do with protection of monuments of culture. They are a completely different kind of force, armed lightly, and the only role they have is humanitarian, such as extinguishing fires, mine clearing, removing dangerous materials, search and rescue," the commander of the NATO-led troops in the province told Radio Kontakt Plus on Monday. Benlter also said that it was Kosovo police, KPS, who would be taking over this role from KFOR, "after consultations and intensive preparations". "We will make sure that members of the Kosovo police who work in those locations, come from various ethnic groups, which means that Serb members of police will also be present." The German general again addressed media reports that KSF would be put in charge of protecting the monuments by saying, "it was above all a grammatical error, not valid information."

Zapad zapretio, Kina uzvratila

Kina je usvojila zakon o carinama kojim želi da osnaži mehanizme odbrane svoje ekomonije nakon pretnji Sjedinjenih Američkih Država i Evropske unije da će reagovati na izvoz jeftinih kineskih proizvoda.
