No police escort for Mayor Goran Rakic any more

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA - Mayor of Serb-majority North Mitrovica Goran Rakic does not have a police escort any more, regional operations chief of Kosovo police Zeljko Bojic told Tanjug.

Bojic specified that the main police directorate based in Pristina decided to scrap the police escort service for Rakic on February 2.

"After proper analyses, it has been established that there is no need for police escort any more," he said.

Rakic got the police escort in early September last year due to the information that an assassination is being prepared against him.

Police then took all security measures, so a Kosovo police patrol were standing outside the building in which Rakic resides for months.
