The suspended Serb officers will otherwise stop receiving their salaries from the Kosovo budget. KPS in bid to persuade Serbs to return to work Beta understands from Kosovo Police Service (KPS) headquarters that at a meeting yesterday, the commander of the Kosovo police and deputy UNMIK police commissioner, General Sheremet Ahmeti, asked the commanders of six regional police stations to talk to Serb KPS members. Serb police officers are due back at work tomorrow morning at 8:00 CET. Serb officers were suspended after they refused to work under KPS command following Kosovo’s unilateral declaration of independence on February 17. Officers in the north of the province remained within the KPS because in that part of the province, the police were under UNMIK command. Under a decision taken by the UNMIK police commissioner and Kosovo’s Interior Ministry, police officers who refused to work were suspended, with pay, for a period of three months. The deadline expires tomorrow. If they fail to come back to work, the Serb police officers will most probably be fired. The police said yesterday that 15 officers and KPS employees, out of a total of 300, had returned to work.
