NO JUSTICE FOR SERBS IN KOSOVO AND METOHIJA: Police officers suspended over beating Nenad Rašković reinstated!

Two members of the so-called Kosovo Police, who were suspended after beating Nenad Rašković*** from Dren, have been reinstated.*** Srpska Lista*** is demanding a full and public explanation from the competent institutions regarding the reasons and legal basis for such a decision.***

Regarding the information that two members of the so-called Kosovo Police, who were suspended over suspicions of being involved in the “case of the abuse of Nenad Rašković from Dren,” were reinstated after only about a month, Srpska Lista said that it demands a full and public explanation from the competent institutions regarding the reasons and legal basis for such a decision.

“It is particularly concerning that the public still has no clear information about what the investigation by the Kosovo Police Inspectorate established, what stage the proceedings are at, and on the basis of what circumstances the decision was made to end the suspension and return the police officers to duty,” Srpska Lista said.

The decision to reinstate them, without a complete and convincing explanation from the institutions, creates the impression within the Serbian community that serious allegations of police violence against Serbs are not receiving an adequate institutional response and that there are no real consequences for such conduct. Precisely for this reason, this case requires maximum transparency and the establishment of individual responsibility through a lawful procedure, Srpska Lista added.

They are demanding that the Police Inspectorate, the prosecution and the so-called Kosovo Police publicly explain who made the decision to reinstate these police officers and on the basis of what findings, whether the investigation has been completed and, if not, why they were returned to duty before its conclusion.

“We also demand a clear explanation from the prosecution regarding the measures taken against the suspects in this case, including whether the imposition of detention or other measures during the proceedings was considered or requested, and on the basis of what legal and factual reasons the decision was made,” Srpska Lista stressed.

Srpska Lista expects EULEX to present to the public the findings of its monitoring of this case and whether the reinstatement of those responsible for the serious beating and infliction of serious bodily injuries on Rašković, the extortion of a statement, and abuse of office was the right decision by the Police Inspectorate.

“Under its current mandate, EULEX does not have an executive investigative role, but it monitors the conduct of the police, prosecution and courts, including sensitive interethnic cases and allegations of police misconduct,” the statement concludes.
