Kosovo has asked NATO troops to airlift a former Serb policeman who was detained two weeks ago but could not be transported to another facility because local Serbs demanding his release set up barricades to prevent his transfer.
Dejan Pantic was arrested on Dec. 10 for allegedly assaulting serving police officers during a previous protest.
"He should be in a detention center and not in a police station and that's why we have asked our international partners to transfer him in an adequate facility," Interior Minister Xhelal Svecla told a news conference in Mitrovica, just a few kilometers away from the first barricade. The NATO force, which has more than 3,000 troops on the ground, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
