Direct involvement of the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken in the situation in the north and the release of the three policemen kidnapped by the Serbian forces is being seen as a good opportunity to de-escalate the situation in the north.

In the Democratic Party of Kosovo and familiar with the dialogue process, they emphasize the need to find a solution to the crisis in the north of Kosovo within the framework of the demands of the international allies.

However, the ruling party, the Vetëvendosje Movement, emphasizes that first the rule of law in the north is necessary, then the organization of early elections.

MP of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Hajdar Beqa, told the local media that the Government of Kosovo should listen to the demands of international allies for the extension of the situation in the north.

He criticized Prime Minister Albin Kurti for damaging Kosovo through what he calls his adventures in the north.

Need for de-escalation of the situation in the north is emphasized by Visar Xani, an expert on the dialogue process.

According to him, local institutions should use Secretary Blinken's involvement to de-escalate the situation in the north, as an opportunity to return American support.

On the other hand, the LVV deputy, Adnan Rrustemi, tells KosovaPress that within the EU's three-point plan for the de-escalation of the north, two of the demands are from Serbia.

Beqa added that Kosovo has accepted the request for new elections in the north, but always within the framework of the laws and the Constitution of Kosovo.

He emphasized that first of all there must be rule of law in the north and the removal of criminal groups from the facilities of the municipalities in the north.

US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, on Monday called on Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Serbian President, Aleksandër Vu?i? for de-escalation of the situation in the north.

On the same day, the three policemen who were kidnapped by the Serbian forces, after 13 days in detention, were released in a regular procedure.
