US and EU Call for Release of Kosovo Police Officers Held by Serbia
- A Serbian court ordered the continued detention and investigation of three Kosovo policemen charged with weapons offenses.
- The US envoy called on Serbia to release the trio, saying they did not intentionally cross the border.
- The detentions have led to unrest in the area and raised concern of renewed violence between Serbia and Kosovo.
- The EU's foreign policy chief has called crisis talks with Kosovo's Prime Minister and Serbia's President for next week.
- Serbian prosecutors have opened legal proceedings against three Kosovo police officers who were arrested earlier this week, ignoring US calls for their release.
