The following Press Statement was published by the U.S Department of State, Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs on June 17. It is reproduced in full below.

We call on President Vucic and the Serbian government to immediately and unconditionally release the three Kosovo police detained on June 14. Their arrest and ongoing detention on spurious charges has exacerbated an already tense situation.

We also continue to call on both Serbia and Kosovo to follow the three-point plan outlined by the EU and return to the EU-facilitated Dialogue without delay.
