The State Prosecutor issues a 48-hour detention order for Aleksandar Trajković, head of Belgrade’s parallel Fushë-Kosovë municipality, following an anti-corruption raid in Uglarë.
Expanding on the sweeping pre-election anti-corruption crackdown ahead of Sunday’s parliamentary ballots, the Basic Prosecution Office in Pristina has formally ordered a 48-hour detention for Aleksandar Trajković, a prominent activist for the Belgrade-backed Serb List (Lista Srpska).
Trajkoviq, who also serves as the illegal head of Serbia’s parallel-administered Fushë-Kosovë municipality, was apprehended during a targeted raid in the village of Uglarë, within the municipality of Graçanica. He faces severe criminal charges under the Kosovo Criminal Code for “Giving or Receiving Bribes in Connection with Voting.”
The Operation: Inside the Shadow Polling Hub
Acting on precise intelligence briefs regarding illegal manipulation of the democratic process, specialized units of the Kosovo Police localized Trajković’s operation inside a commercial venue in Uglarë.
A thorough search of the premises and associated properties uncovered a highly coordinated, illegal voter-guidance scheme.

[In Exchange for Votes: Promises State Welfare & Pensions Funded by Serbia]
Investigative findings reveal that Trajkoviq instructed voters on how to properly cast their physical ballots on June 7 to benefit the Serb List. In direct exchange for their political compliance, he allegedly promised the immediate allocation of monthly social welfare benefits and pension streams funded by the state treasury of Serbia.
Strategic Impact on the June 7 Vote
This high-profile arrest adds significant weight to the earlier election-tampering arrest in Graçanica. It directly aligns with warnings made at the Tivat Summit by independent analysts, who noted that Belgrade uses coercion and financial dependency architectures to hold the local electorate hostage.
With less than 48 hours remaining before the 949 domestic polling centers open their doors across the republic, Kosovo’s Central Election Commission (CEC) and state prosecutors have reaffirmed that any parallel administrative interference, vote-buying networks, or forced voter coercion will be met with immediate operational neutrality and criminal detention.
