A spokesperson of the US Embassy in Pristina told Gazeta Express that the United States is concerned by response to today’s Kosovo law enforcement actions on Kosovo territory.

“The United States is concerned by responses to today’s Kosovo law enforcement actions on Kosovo territory. All violence, whether directed at authorities, media, or civilians, is unacceptable and should be investigated and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. We urge calm,” a spokesperson of the US Embassy told Gazeta Express when to comment today’s Kosovo Police anti-smuggling operation in northern Kosovo.

The European Union High Representative Josep Borrell has also reacted following today’s tensions in northern Kosovo, but he called Kosovo law enforcement actions as “unilateral and uncoordinated” which as he said “endanger stability.”

“The violent incidents in the north of Kosovo need to stop immediately. Unilateral and uncoordinated actions that endanger stability are unacceptable. All open issues must be addressed through the EU-facilitated Dialogue. We are in contact with Belgrade and Pristina,” Borrell wrote on Twitter. /GazetaExpress/
