Weapons, military equipment, and other items were discovered the day before yesterday in northern Kosovo.
However, such cases are not uncommon, as the discovery of weapons in this part of the country has occurred frequently in the past as well.
Speaking about the issue on the program Kosova Today, the Deputy Director of the Kosovo Police for the northern region, Veton Elshani, said that the weapons found may date back to before the war. He also mentioned the lack of institutional control in that part of the territory for many years.
“In the north of the country, compared to the south—such as Peja, Gjilan, or South Mitrovica—the difference is that this area experienced at least 22 or 23 years without the kind of institutional control we are exercising now. The weapons found in the north are combat weapons that were most likely there since before the war, but there is also the possibility that they entered through illegal routes, as around 64 such routes once existed,” he said.
