Kosovo government denies media allegations on arrests campaign against Serbs

Kosovo government denied here on Friday media allegations on existence of a secret plan to conduct a wide arrests campaign against Serbian minorities in northern Kosovo. In an official statement, Kosovo indicated that the news allegations, published by some Serbian media sources, are totally incorrect and that its government does not have any secret lists of names of wanted Serbs to justice, adding that these speculations were made with intention to create an atmosphere of tension prior to expansion of Kosovo's influence on north of the country. Furthermore, the statement affirmed Kosovo security authority's non-intention in conducting any arrests campaign against some Serbs in the northern part of the country due to their involvement in violent acts in the country following official announcement of its independence from Serbia four months ago, adding that such allegations would stop the peaceful negotiations between Kosovo and Serbia and that they are not in the interest of people of both nations.
