Kosovo Police Inspectorate recommends suspension of two officers in Nenad Rašković case

The Police Inspectorate of Kosovo has recommended the suspension of two officers from the Regional Directorate of North Mitrovica. This recommendation stems from suspicions of their involvement in the case of Nenad Rašković, a resident of Dren near Zubin Potok.

Rašković recently accused police officers of beating him inside his home, then taking him to a forest, tying him to a tree, and beating him again during a police operation. The two officers are now suspected of the criminal offense of "abuse during the performance of official duties or public authority."

The Police Inspectorate stated that it will continue investigative actions in cooperation with the Basic Prosecutor's Office in Mitrovica to fully clarify all circumstances and the conduct of the police officers involved. The investigation was initiated ex officio based on media reports and public statements from August 11, to verify the allegations and clarify all relevant facts and circumstances regarding the police operation in Dren.
