Bajqinovci raises the alarm over troubling reports involving emigrants passing through Serbia

MP Mefail Bajqinovci said he has received complaints from many compatriots who, according to him, are facing long delays, unjustified checks and pressure from Serbian police while traveling through Serbia.

According to him, the reports indicate that travelers are having their mobile phones, personal data and social media checked, while some claim that after these inspections they were asked for up to 200 euros.

Calling such behavior unacceptable, Bajqinovci urged compatriots to avoid passing through Serbia whenever possible while traveling to Kosovo.

Bajqinovci’s post:

Many concerned compatriots are writing to me saying that while passing through Serbia on their way to spend their holidays in Kosovo, they are facing long stops, pressure, unjustified checks and robbery.

According to the reports I am receiving, Serbian police are asking them to unlock their mobile phones and are checking their personal data and even their social media, violating fundamental human rights. Some of them even complain that after these checks they are being robbed, with up to 200 euros demanded from them under pressure.

It is unacceptable for our compatriots to be treated this way while traveling to their homeland.

Because of these troubling reports, I call on compatriots to avoid passing through Serbia whenever they can when coming to Kosovo.
