Arrests of Serbs in Kosovo based on principle of “two witnesses” and without evidence must stop, mayor of the Mitrovica North municipality, Goran Rakic told KIM Radio.
Rakic also warned that such arrests intimidate Serb returnees.
“The experience tells us they arrest as a rule, reputable Serbs who wish to return to their places of origin, as Bozidar Mitrovic,” Rakic said.
Asked what his expectations from the Kosovo Special Court for KLA crimes are, Rakic responded that “his expectations are not high” taught by the experience of the International Tribunal that neglected cases in which Serbs were the victims.
He also reminded on the delay in establishing the Association of the Serb Community, an obligation Pristina undertook based on the Brussels agreement.
Speaking about the opening of the Ibar bridge, Rakic said the opening of the bridge is no longer a political but a technical matter and companies working on the bridge reconstruction should agree about that.
“What we are interested in and concerned about is security of citizens. This we will always demand and no blackmails would make us change it,” Rakic said, KIM Radio reported.
