KFOR for Politika: We deploy troops as part of regular training; no indication of humanitarian crisis (Serbian media)

According to KFOR, there is no danger of a humanitarian crisis in northern Kosovo, and unfortunately such rhetoric does not help normalization of the people's lives, says KFOR spokesperson Vincenzo Grasso for today's edition of Belgrade based daily Politika.

On Tuesday evening, KFOR helicopters were flying over to Mitrovica, Zvecan and part of the Zubin Potok. People were afraid. Tell me, please, what was it about, and what was the reason for the flight?

KFOR spokesman Colonel Vincenzo Grasso told Belgrade daily Politika that the Kosovo police special unit ROSU intervened after shots were fired at police officers in the north of Kosovo.

“Shots were fired at the regular police after the road to Zubin Potok was blocked and a police officer was wounded. Opening fire at the police and obstructing their operations is against the law. The intervention by the Kosovo police special unit was just a reaction to that violent behaviour,” Grasso said.

KFOR Spokesperson Vincenzo Grasso told Belgrade based daily Danas that there is a lot of discussion about whether an information is given but one can check that during the interview for TV Prva, he said that "everyone was informed", which meant that the information was previously disclosed.

He added that KFOR cannot provide the information on behalf of other and specifies that there was no reason to react to the police action, conducted in order to reduce the crime rate, which is beneficial to everyone.

KFOR spokesman Vincenzo Grasso says that yesterday's action of the Kosovo special police units was regular, and that in fact the biggest threat to peace are politicians and the media.

Asked about the situation in Kosovo this morning, Grasso says it is under control.

"Yesterday there was little tension, but luckily it was in isolated locations and it was completed during the day, so I have to say that it is peaceful," he said, during the inclusion in the morning program of Belgrade based TV Prva.
