“This is a repeating of such incidents in the same area” said Bajram RexhepiHe said that they had information that the wood cutters were cutting woods in Serbia border.
First the villagers were scared to talk they didn’t want to talk publicly.The reason why they go illegally to Serbia is because they have like more woods than the Kosovo part.
The minister of Defense says he is informed of this activity, and if the two police did not collaborate it would be hard to stop this.
A Serbian from Metergovc admitted to the camera that he has seen people cutting woods and they have no problem from the border police two pass the border more than 2 km without being stopped by the police.
