Kosovo Police stopped a group of young Serbs carrying provocative materials on Friday morning at the Jarinje border crossing.

KosovaPress has learned from security institution sources that the case involves six young Serbs who were transporting materials with nationalist and inciting content.

According to the same sources, the materials contained messages promoting hatred and glorifying figures linked to the Banjska attack.

From the posters, photos of which were obtained by KosovaPress, symbols of the ultra-nationalist group “Delije Sever” from Zvecan can be seen, combined with the portrait of Stefan Nedeljković, reported as one of those killed during the terrorist attack in Banjska.

The group may be connected to broader nationalist networks, with the name of Vladimir Radivojević, known by the nickname “Mami,” also mentioned. He has been reported as a direct participant in the 2023 terrorist attack and allegedly has close ties with Milan Radoičić.

“This shows that the structures that attacked the state of Kosovo in Banjska are reorganizing through young people in destabilizing activities in the Republic of Kosovo, aiming to conceal the involvement of Serbia’s mechanisms,” security sources told KosovaPress on condition of anonymity.

However, this did not appear sufficient for the prosecution in Mitrovica. According to KosovaPress, the duty prosecutor ordered their release into regular procedure just hours after their arrest.

Under applicable laws, this offense is classified as “Inciting hatred, division, or intolerance on national, racial, religious, or ethnic grounds” and can be punishable by up to five years in prison, especially when accompanied by symbols that incite violence.

Meanwhile, the background of the “Delije” network is said to extend to high levels of power in Belgrade. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has publicly acknowledged the importance of this group, recalling with pride his past involvement. This political backing is reportedly reinforced by links to Serbia’s intelligence service (BIA), including figures such as Bojan Dimić, a senior official who is also a board member of the “Crvena Zvezda” Sports Association.
