XKAn Albanian lawyer, Arianit Koci, has reported that a Kosovo citizen claims he was forced to pay 2,000 euros to Serbian police at the border checkpoint of Batrovci/Bajakovo to avoid arrest and detention. According to the claim, the incident occurred around 16:30 during the family’s departure from Serbia, when they were stopped for inspection. The man alleges that his family was detained in a nearby garage, where officers searched personal belongings and mobile phones. During the search, photos of the Albanian flag and the Kosovo Liberation Army (UÇK) were found on the children’s phones, leading to threats of arrest and detention in Belgrade unless the sum was paid. The man reportedly gave the money out of fear. Koci called the situation extremely serious and urged other citizens who experienced similar treatment to report it to local police stations and the Kosovo Embassy. He emphasized the need for documentation and legal follow-up if such incidents are confirmed.
