US supports establishing Kosovo Border Customs in checkpoint 1 and 31


The United States welcomes the agreement reached on September 2 between Kosovo and Serbia, and will also support the Government of Kosovo in extending its authority in building the law in the north as well as the establishment of the Kosovo Customs and Police officials in the border checkpoints in the context of the agreement reached in Brussels between both countries.

"The plan which was drafted by EU mission, EULEX, Government of Kosovo and NATO mission, KFOR, is the legitimate right of the Government to exercise its authority in the context of the agreement reached on September 2. Implementation now depends on the government and we support the decisions taken," added Ambassador Dell.

Previously, Kosovar media has reported the ongoing consultation with international community in deployment of Kosovo Customs and Border Police in checkpoint 31 and 1.

Kosovo Border Checkpoint 1 will be closed and under NATO military control since it was destroyed by Serb criminals in August. Kosovo Police and EULEX have issues several warrants and searching to apprehend the perpetrators.
