Dozens of citizens from the Municipality of Bujanovac, today were not allowed to enter the territory of Kosovo through the crossing Breznica-Karacevo, respectively the Kosovo Police turned them back from the village of Novo Selo in the Municipality of Kamenica.
According to witnesses, the Kosovo Police is returning the citizens from Bujanovac, without any grounds, telling them that crossing this road is prohibited, and that they must travel through the main crossing point “Konçul – Dheu i Bardhë”.
Also, according to the same witness, the ban on traffic for the Albanians of Bujanovac through this alternative route is not permanent. It is a change of the Kosovo Police, who are “implementing” this ban, imposed by the Government of Avdulla Hoti, during the outbreak of the pandemic, last year.
However, months ago during the visits of Albanian leaders from the Presevo Valley with senior state officials in Kosovo, there was an agreement that alternative access roads to Kosovo be open to Albanians in the Presevo Valley during the summer season, due to creation of long columns at the main crossing point “Konçul – Dheu i Bardhë”.
Traffic ban by the Kosovo Police. through alternative roads, Breznica and Dobrosin, is a very big obstacle for the Albanians of the Presevo Valley, especially for those of Bujanovac.
