A Serbian patrol, members of the Kosovo police, was deployed from Tuesday in the municipality of Kline/Klina, in addition to regular patrols.

The decision of the Kosovo Police Service to deploy Serb police officers to the area of Kline/Klina has come after a series of attacks on mainly elderly Serbs and returnees in villages Drsnik, Klinavac and in urban part of Kline/Klina.

Sokol Bashota, the Mayor of Klina municipality, today strongly condemned the recent thefts on Serb properties in this municipality and called on law enforcement authorities to find the perpetrators and bring them to justice. Bashota also said that law enforcement authorities should conduct more frequent controls in order to increase the level of security for all residents of the Klina municipality regardless of their ethnic background.
