Sources from NATO Headquarters said that the Brussels Agreement of 2013, mentioned these days by Serbia, does not include Kosovo police forces.

These sources, Serbian media report, claim that “Kosovo authorities do not have to seek KFOR’s permission to send their police forces anywhere in Kosovo.”

This was the response of the officials from NATO to the question of the Serbian news agency Beta, on whether Kosovo authorities should have requested permission of KFOR prior to sending their special force, ROSU, in the north of Kosovo to stop the Serbian train.

From the day of the incident on Saturday, Serbian media and politics continuously referred to the “Brussels Agreement,” which according to them, does not allow Pristina authorities to send its special units in the north.

KFOR Command informed earlier that they were not informed about the decision to send ROSU in the north of Kosovo on 14 January, and that this was in accordance with KFOR’s mandate in Kosovo.
