Serbia's Office for Kosovo

Kosovo Police announced on Friday that it arrested a Kosovo Serb, N.O., known as Nemac and/or Rus, suspected of participating in violent clashes between Serb protesters and the NATO peacekeeping mission in Kosovo, KFOR, on May 29, in the Serb-majority northern municipality of Zvecan.

Kosovo and Serbian institutions on Wednesday said Serbian police had arrested three Kosovo police officials in an action that Kosovo authorities called "kidnapping".

Both countries gave contradictory claims regarding the location of the arrest.

Kosovo's Special Prosecution announced on Tuesday that a Kosovo Serb policeman had been arrested on war crimes charges for allegedly beating and torturing a person at the police station in Kamenice/Kamenica in 1999, while on official duty.

Kosovo police confirmed that they shot at a vehicle in which there were two Serbs in Bistrica, in the northern municipality of Leposavic, after trying to stop the vehicle.

Police on Monday said the police unit had been deployed at a checkpoint "with the aim to preserve order and public safety and also to prevent crime and smuggling".

Kosovo and Serbia delegations again exchanged familiar accusations of not fulfilling the obligations they have undertaken at the latest round of the EU-facilitated dialogue on normalization of relations between the two countries.

The two delegations met on Tuesday in Brussels convened by the EU's envoy for the dialogue, Miroslav Lajcak.

The leaders of Serbia and Kosovo on Friday welcomed an agreement to resume rail services between the two countries as an important step toward calmer relations between the two estranged nations. It follows an earlier breakthrough on resuming air links.

The Director of Serbia's Office for Kosovo, Marko Djuric, on Thursday denounced the arson attack on the car of Srpska Lista presidency member Slavko Simic in northern Kosovo in the early hours of the day.

The office of Kosovo Foreign Minister Behgjet Pacolli has said it will not approve any further requests from Serbian officials to visit Kosovo.

Mirko Sarovic, Bosnia's Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations, on Wednesday condemned Kosovo's decision to impose customs tariffs of 10 per cent on imports from Serbia and Bosnia, calling the move "intolerable".

The EU said it was planning a new joint meeting between Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Hashim Thaci of Kosovo, after Vucic cancelled his announced meeting with Thaci on Friday in Brussels, leaving his upcoming visit to Kosovo in doubt.
