Former Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs' (MUP) employees in Kosovo, who are requesting solution to their employment and legal status in line with the Serbian Constitution and laws and who are not satisfied with the dynamic of the address of their demands, have announced launching of protests and hunger strike today in Mitrovica North in front of the Serbian Government’s Office for Kosovo and Metohija. Representative of the employees Rajko Sekularac said to Kontakt Plus Radio that protest will last until all requests are fulfilled.

Former MUP employees in Kosovo earlier protested in November but that protest ended after two days, following talks in Belgrade with the Minister of Internal Affairs Nebojsa Stefanovic and director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Djuric.

Around 1.200 police officers and administrative staff of the Serbian MUP have been sent to early retirement in 2013 following the signing of the First Brussels Agreement, after Serbian Government decided to abolish MUP offices in Kosovo and Metohija.
