The German ambassador to Kosovo, Jorn Rode, joined the reaction of the United States of America in expressing concern and disappointment over the action of the Kosovo police in the north to close the Serbian parallel structures and assessed it as a unilateral action.

"The announcement is not a consultation. Germany joins the reaction of the American embassy in expressing concern and disappointment over uncoordinated actions. This must change. We want to remove the measures and move forward in the regional and European integration of Kosovo. There is no more unnecessary crisis," he wrote. Storks on platform X.

The French ambassador, Olivier Gero, reacted similarly, who assessed that "actions that adversely affect communities, in this case the Serbian community, did not go well".

"One-sidedness does not bring lasting solutions," he wrote on the Iks platform.

Their reaction follows that of the United States of America.

In the reaction of the American embassy in Kosovo, yesterday's action in the north was described as "a continuation of uncoordinated actions undertaken by the Government of Kosovo, which continue to have a direct and negative impact on the Serbian community and other minority communities in Kosovo."

The Government of Kosovo announced on Friday afternoon that in the action of the Kosovo Police, five facilities of Serbian parallel structures were closed in four municipalities in the north of the country.

Previously, the Kosovo Police announced that they had completed an operation in the north of Kosovo, with which they stopped illegal activities in five facilities, as well as another operation in supporting facilities in the North Mitrovica hospital, where military material was confiscated.

In the statement of the Kosovo Police, it is said that the police action carried out in the north of Kosovo ended with the suspension of illegal activities and the closure of five facilities of illegal municipalities in the north of Kosovo, such as the District of Kosovska Mitrovica and the illegal municipalities of Mitrovica, Zvečan, Zubin Potok and Leposavić.
