Hadžija, Minister of Justice in the Technical Mandate, during the Northern Mitrovica headquarters in the Kosovo Police Police, held a meeting with the leaders of this institution, as well as representatives of the Court and Prosecution, whose topic was a problem of sexual harassment.

In this problem, five relevant Serbian non-governmental organizations from this part of Kosovo and Metohija, but the change in the treatment of competent Kosovo institutions was not in order to prevent such cases.

Now Hadžija is announcing a new operative plan, Hadžia calls women to report any form of sexual harassment.

« Every form of sexual harassment is unacceptable, whether happens on the street, business or school. Sexual harassment is a criminal offense and it is punishable » Hadžiju In an interview for Cossils in front of the headquarters of the KP region North, after the meeting was completed.

She added that with representatives of the police, the Prosecution and the Court in Mitrovica, they treated such cases in a professional manner, but also emphasized that all initiatives in relation to this topic was undertaken in cooperation with civil society organizations from the North Kosovo. « I am very open to empower cooperation with all organizations coming from North Mitrovica or other regions in which Serbs are most, to strengthen co-operation, » Hadžia noted.

But then the denial of five NGOs from the north of Kosovo followed that they were part of the meetings with the Ministry.

The new social initiative, CASA, ACDC, interference and active, are organizations that are the problem of sexual harassment in the north, which they note that ethnically motivated, introduced the domestic, but also the international public.

After meeting with Hadžia, Deputy Commander of the Kosovo Police North, Veton Eššani, said the new operational plan in connection with cases of sexual harassment. He confirmed that in some streets of North Mitrovica, there are new patrols with the exclusive task to prevent possible cases of sexual harassment, and part of these officers is equipped with body cameras.

Andrić Rakić: I was reserved according to the Ministry’s plan

Milica Andrić Rakić, the Program Director of the New Social Initiative, and the implementation of a number of applications, and may notice, mostly, because in the joint announcement of the Minister and the Police leaders, there is no more need for neighbor’s pampies.

Neighbor’s guard, the initiative of self-organization of the Serb community in the north, launched Serbian democracy, the party whose President Mitrovčanin, Aleksandar Arsenijević.

This initiative, although at first, was encountered by the type of local Kosovo police, was now sentencing to the Deputy Commander of the KP for the North Veton State of Eššani.

The neighboring guards were launched from Serbian democracy earlier, due to the unreagaining of the Kosovo Police, and they are « guarded », whose part are citizens who record potential sexual predators and then alert the public about new cases.

« At the same time, with the help of media and daring girls, the topic was held in the public at the regular report of the UN Security Council, which was made politically, to solve the problem, as far as the civil sector is concerned, I can only say that with organizations that are on this The problem indicated international institutions there were no meetings with officials, ie the meetings spoken of Minister Hadžia are probably organized with some other organizations, « Andrić Rakić names.

Our interlocutor reminds that the new social initiative had previously cooperation with the Ministry of Justice, but in the process of drafting the National Strategy for Transitional Justice. Notes that this experience was very negative.

« I personally I have a basis in Mitrovica, I have no basis for criticizing because it has not left space to relativize and deny this topic, but it took a lot of time and external pressure to be accepted, » she says.

Andric Rakić, asked what to see for further sexual harassment, it corresponds to the presence of girls who want to report the case, identifying suspects, initiating the public on launching investigations, the police, as prosecutions.

« It is necessary for the public to know that it will be a consequence, the victims and potential perpetrators must also know that, » the program director of the new social initiative said.

Arsenijevic: They are sick of neighbor’s watches, now to recover damage

Aleksandar Arsenijević, president of the Serbian democracy, which launched « neighbor’s guards, » he said to visit Hadžia because « many things were hazardous, » they failed to disguise this problem.

« In a short time, we have raised this problem for this sexual harassment that is just a problem that is just that the police will initialize the public order and peace, and there is a prison for sexual harassment. It is not to let the loud music in the cars or trumpet, and throw in women, « indicates.

Arsenijevic notes that Pristina and part of the international community try to show that sexual harassment is not ethnically motivated, which, he states, not true.

As he says, they have a number of evidence that most Albanians who do not from North Mitrovica, but come to this municipality and from remote majority Albanian places, such as Skendera and Gjakova.

« I don’t know who they have closed meetings, the relevant NGOs, we were mostly changed, but did not report them, they were accused of lying. For less than two weeks as a neighborhood we have results and we will continue until we see That the police operational plan gives results. Then we will only withdraw the guards and saying the work of the police. It is in some act and the goal – to improve the work of the police, « Arsenijevic explains.

Commenting on the change of the Deputy Commander of the Kosovo Police for the North, Eššanija, the President of Serbian Democracy, which this initiative is, as soon as he did not hide himself, that he probably influenced the change of Albanian public.

« We don’t want to take the work of the police, there is a clear legal framework we presented to the police. Many other things have been gone, from the political aspect, that they are certainly that citizens are working instead of institutions, » he believes.

And Arsenijevic asked what to see as a solution for this problem, and our interlocutor believes that Pristina and the international community could solve that in a week – only if it will.

« Belgrade has no impact on that. The solution is that some of which and young men cursed them, as it was able to defend them, reminding the incident from last week when the Kosovo neck police officer caught Serbian graduation during the celebration Mature at the Mitrovica promenade due to how it was said, his gestures according to the group of Albanian provocations.

Arsenijevic explains that this problem was initiated last year, and that the informal association of women was then involved.

« We didn’t want to politicize that, then the surrotable tabloids would be in the wrong way, because it was not a moment to get this topic, without experiencing. Now that the community is much higher. The woman’s association was done. Great job, there was also UN, « he concludes.
