Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Hajredin Kuci has stated that the action of establishment of peace and order in north Kosovo may be launched even before September 15 i.e. the date of expiry of the oral agreement between KFOR and Pristina and Belgrade on the resolution of the north Kosovo crisis.

Kuci stated Sunday presenting the first six months of work of the Kosovo Ministry of Justice that the Kosovo government intends to take control over the Jarinje and Brnjak administrative checkpoints in north Kosovo, reads Pristina-based Albanian language daily Koha Ditore on Monday.

We are working hard and putting additional efforts to establish a normal state in the shortest possible term. At the moment, we have control over KFOR, and we will exert control over the crossings as soon as possible. That can happen even before September 15, while after September 15 the rule of law and control over checkpoints will be established, Kuci said.

As for the justice system in the north, he said that judges and prosecutors should meet three criteria - to establish an integrated justice system, to be appointed by Kosovo institutions, and to be included in the system of Kosovo, Kuci said.

Kuci said that he is not familiar with the announcement by the terrorist Albanian National Army (ANA) that it will launch armed actions in north Kosovo unless the Kosovo government takes control in this part of Kosovo by the end of September.
