Posta Srbije ("Post of Serbia") employees, whom the special police of so-called Kosovo, along with the money they were transporting, stopped at the checkpoint near the Bistrica bridge and directed to the customs terminal in southern Kosovska Mitrovica, were released after several hours of detention.

They were able to continue the trip and the transport of money, Post of Serbia executive in Kosovo and Metohija, Ivan Milivojevic, told Tanjug.

The workers were detained at the customs terminal from 12:30 to 19:30.

"They asked for additional documentation that we attached. In the end, they realized that it was a regular flow of money," Milojevic said.

The Office for Kosovo and Metohija announced earlier in the day that members of the special units of the Kosovo police stopped and detained a driver and two employees of the Post of Serbia who were performing their regular task of transporting money from the Treasury in Leposavic to Kosovska Mitrovica, and that they were stopped at the checkpoint on Bistrica bridge.

Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Petar Petkovic reacted by saying that this desperate move represents the revenge of the prime minister of the provisional institutions of Pristina, Albin Kurti, against Serbs after the debacle he experienced in elections (in the north), and is a new attempt to increase tensions in the north of Kosovo and Metohija under the direction of Pristina.
