UN envoy to Kosovo orders suspension of 12 police officers pending inquiry

3 December – The head of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) has ordered that 12 Kosovo police officers be suspended, with pay, for six months while a police investigation takes place into their role in the demolition of a railway bridge in the northern Kosovo town of Loziste in April.

Harri Holkeri, the Special Representative for Kosovo, was not prejudging the investigation’s result or presuming guilt, according to a joint statement by UNMIK and KFOR, the multinational force in Kosovo, that was issued today in Pristina.

But Mr. Holkeri said the initial findings against the 12 officers, all serving members of the Kosovo Protection Corps (KPC), after a joint UNMIK-KFOR inquiry were “sufficiently serious” to warrant both a police investigation and the suspensions.

The statement said Mr. Holkeri and KFOR Commander Holger Kammerhoff met the Commander of the KPC, Lt. Gen. Agim Ceku, today to inform him of the suspensions.

The statement added that Mr. Holkeri “recognized that, with a few exceptions, the KPC members act professionally and in keeping with the standards expected of them…It is important to ensure that the inquiry findings are followed up to protect the good name of the KPC.”

If they behave themselves, as they will...they will not be harmed.
...and that's why the RS deserves to go.

Your words betray you. You clearly have found all of the internal excuses that you need to justify the murder of everyone living within the Serb Republic.

You're are no different than the paramilitary thugs, whom you claim to hate, that committed the atrocities at Srebenica.

That is why you come to a thread about Serbs being attacked by Muhammedan terrorists in the uniform of the police and talk about squashing the Serbs like bugs. Their lives mean nothing to you and you've shown your true colors for all to see.

Oh, did you think I was appealing to your conscience?

Nah, I save that for those who have one.
