KFOR begins transition at Ibër bridge as suspect arrested in Zvečan
In northern Kosovo, KFOR has initiated a gradual transition of its permanent presence from the main bridge over the Ibër river in Mitrovica. The European Union has confirmed that conditions for reopening the bridge have been met following consultations with security partners, noting that the process is being coordinated with relevant actors.
Concurrently, Kosovo Police and the Special Prosecutor's Office have arrested a suspect, identified by the initials I. M., in Zvečan. The individual is suspected of involvement in the violent unrest of May 2023, which resulted in injuries to 93 KFOR personnel and Kosovo Police officers. The suspect faces multiple criminal charges, including assault against an official, hooliganism, and endangering persons under international protection.
