Despite reports that Serbs have been asking to leave the Kosovo Security Force amid an upsurge of political tensions between Belgrade and Pristina, the number of Serbs who want to join the Kosovo Police remains similar to 2014, the force said.
Kosovo Police told BIRN that in 2014, over 5 per cent of applicants were Serbs, “while this year there was around 5 per cent (4.91 per cent)”.
“Based on the statistics and the percentage of applicants from the Serb community, a consistent interest from this community in joining the Kosovo Police is noted,” the police said.
