Albin Kurti: I will not remove the Police from the municipalities in the north

During the interview this evening on CNN, the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, stated that he has no intention of removing the Police forces from the municipalities in the north of the country.

He said that they are exercising their duty just like in any other part of the territory, moreover when they are facing not protesters, but criminal gangs.

"We are not dealing with peaceful protesters, but with criminal gangs, extremists, ultra-nationalists of the right wing, who are being paid and ordered by Belgrade, who admire Putin. It is the fascist militia that attacked our policemen, KFOR, and also journalists in the field. I want to have police officers who protect the rule of law, maintain order. Municipalities should be for everyone, not for parallel structures of Serbia. We will not hand over the democratic republic to the fascist militia," Kurti said.
