They were seen where they ran, and how they got out was unknown.
However, 8 months later, in the most powerful alliance in the world, it will be shown with whose permission the armed Serbian attackers crossed the mountains of Banjska, on September 24 of last year.
In the report discussed on Saturday in the defense and security commission at the NATO General Assembly, it is written that the KFOR mission agreed with the attackers to flee from where they came.
KFOR officials negotiated the withdrawal of the rest of the group into the surrounding woods, where they disappeared. (ICG, 2024). Kosovo authorities believe that potentially hundreds of other attackers were hiding in the forests between Banjska and the Serbian border, and they discovered a large stockpile of weapons ready to cause damage and casualties. This included anti-tank rockets, grenade launchers, anti-tank mines and 24 vehicles (one armored) (ICG, 2024),” says the NATO report, Klankosova.tv reports.
For this part, the former British defense secretary, Lord Mark Lancaster, who is the rapporteur for the Western Balkans, has cited a report drawn up by the International Crisis Group, but not even in the paragraphs where they explain in detail the role of the much-wanted Serbian Milan Radoicic in the Banjska terrorist attack and declared unwanted in America and Great Britain.
In the document where the history of Kosovo and the problems with Serbia are shown in detail, great attention is given to the entire north of Kosovo.
“At the heart of the dispute are two key issues: non-recognition (and the active international campaign against recognition) and the ways and means of integrating the Serb population of Kosovo – especially in the four northern municipalities bordering Serbia, where Serbs make up about 90% of the population. The four municipalities are still partially under the control of Belgrade, while Kosovo seeks to assert sovereignty over the totality of its territory”, the report further states.
However, the implementation of the agreements reached between Kosovo and Serbia is considered a challenge.
The commission for defense and security met on Saturday, on the first day of the 3-day meeting of the NATO assembly, where on the agenda on Monday is also the advancement of the status of the Assembly of Kosovo from an observer member to an associate member.
