Hyseni: Violence will not be tolerated, police did its duty (Telegrafi/Koha)
Kosovo’s Interior Minister Skender Hyseni said in a press conference today that the Kosovo Police will never be subject to political orders and that it handled yesterday’s protest in Pristina “marvelously.” Hyseni said that violence directed at the police is unacceptable and that no one will be amnestied from responsibility. He called on the opposition to discuss the issues of concern at the Assembly and not take to the streets. Koha reports that in the press conference, Minister Hyseni also admitted that the Kosovo Police has no equal approach to all of Kosovo. “For obvious reasons, for political sensitivity and other aspects, the Kosovo Police does not act in the north as in the rest of the country,” he said adding that the integration of the north requires time. “However, rest assured that I would not be in this post did I not believe in this integration,” stressed Hyseni.
