The Kosovo Police (KP), responding to allegations made by some media that KP members are not allowed to pass through Serbia, clarified that KP respects everyone's right to move freely. "Kosovo Police respects the rights of everyone to move freely, however, referred to the latest developments and the arrest of Regional Director Colonel Nehat Thaci by Serbian authorities, Kosovo Police has an obligation to inform and its employees and suggest that passing through Serbia may not be safe and may have unpredictable consequences for our employees. Therefore, we are not imposing any ban as it is written or reported in some media, but KP has an obligation to its members to suggest and to keep them informed about ongoing developments," reads a press statement issued by KP.

Several media earlier today reported that Kosovo Police has ordered its members not to pass through the territory of Serbia. This decision comes after the arrest of the Kosovo Police regional director, Nehat Thaci, by Serbian authorities. Thaci was arrested on 29 September and is serving one month detention in Nis prison.
