“Freedom of movement must be ensured in Kosovo”

EU Special Representative in Kosovo Samuel Zbogar expressed concern over the current situation in the northern part of the province. He reiterated the EU's position that freedom of movement must not be hampered. “Freedom of movement must be ensured in Kosovo” “I am concerned about the current situation in the north. As far as freedom of movement, the EU and the international community have always been clear it is a right that must not be infringed on. This is nothing new,” said Zbogar, expressing regret that people were injured in recent incidents. Clashes between KFOR troops and Serbs erupted on June 1 after KFOR started removing a barricade in the village of Rudare near Zvecan. Four Serbs and two German KFOR soldiers were wounded. Zbogar said last week's barricade removal had nothing to do with Tomislav Nikolic's victory in the Serbian presidential election and was not a test for him, adding the same operation would have been carried out if the other candidate had won.
