The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora has called on Kosovo citizens, including compatriots living abroad who plan to come to Kosovo, to choose alternative routes and not travel through Serbia.
According to the MFA, this appeal has been repeated continuously due to the frequent cases of detentions and arrests of citizens of the Republic of Kosovo by Serbian authorities.

The holiday season has significantly increased the number of emigrants traveling to Kosovo through Serbia. A few days ago, Serbian authorities arrested Osmam Selmani on Serbia’s suspicions of alleged war crimes in 1999.
Tens of thousands of our compatriots pass through this border crossing, while in recent years many incidents have also been recorded, mainly related to longer checks and questioning.
In the last two years alone, arrests have also been reported, most of which were linked to accusations of violating the constitutional order of the Republic of Serbia.
Lawyer Arianit Koci has also reacted to this issue, saying that caution should be shown when passing through Serbia.
The MFA stresses that, through the Liaison Office of the Republic of Kosovo in Serbia, it monitors and handles every case reported by citizens or their family members, while at the same time it has continuously informed the European Union delegation in Serbia and sent verbale notes to the diplomatic missions of the Quint countries accredited in Serbia.
