Kosova Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, in his speech in the Assembly during the interpellation on “Urgent measures of the Government of the Republic of Kosova in relation to the situation created in the country”, after the resignations of some of the Serbian Police officials, stated that the reasons are entirely political. Kurti clarified that the resignation of the police officers was neither the decision of the Prime Minister nor the Minister of the Interior. According to Kurti, the text of the resignation of the Serbian officials was the same, while he called on the Serbs from the floor of the Assembly not to abandon the institutions.

“The issue of handling the resignations of police officers is not my decision, nor that of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is not a political decision. Political resignation was a political decision. In my opinion, for unknown reasons, the say individual and moral and the text was exactly the same for each of them.

The same moral and individual crisis had collectively caught each of them together, with the identical text of the resignation. This is a political decision. Now I repeat my call that no Serb should abandon the institutions. This is my constant calling. It will be like this in the following days. The institutions do not belong to the government and a community, they belong to all the citizens of the Republic”, said Kurti.

He further added that the vacuum created as a result of the resignation of Serbian officials in the Police must be filled. For this, Kosova Prime Minister emphasized, the government will commit so that Kosova Police be in the highest state of alertness for all citizens.

“Well, where there is a vacuum, there must be new job applications. The political decision to resign cannot be followed by political calls for return, but by professional application of those who want those jobs. Of course, everyone is welcome.

But neither the prime minister nor the interior minister decides this, so this is regulated according to the internal regulation and the regulation of the Kosova Police that applies to all officials. We will commit to ensure that the Kosova Police is in a state of highest alertness for all citizens, regardless of ethnicity, religion, age and gender,” said Kurti.
