Bojan Jevtiq, the police officer arrested today during a joint operation by Kosovo authorities at Dheu i Bardhë, was detained on suspicions of espionage activities on behalf of the Serbian BIA intelligence agency, as reported by KosovaPress.

Jevtiq’s arrest was carried out in the early morning hours with authorization from the Kosovo Special Prosecutor’s Office, following a months-long inter-institutional investigation coordinated by the Kosovo Intelligence Agency (AKI), the Inspectorate of Kosovo Police (IPK), and the Kosovo Special Prosecutor’s Office (PSRK).

Reliable sources from Kosovo’s security institutions have confirmed to KosovaPress that Jevtiq is suspected of transmitting classified police documents and operational plans to Serbian intelligence officials for several years.

Documents from the International Police Association (IPA) were found with him; Kosovo is not a member of this association, while Serbia and Russia are.

According to the same sources, KosovaPress has learned that after the attack in Banjskë, Jevtiq transmitted sensitive operational plans related to border security.

His arrest was confirmed by the acting Minister of Internal Affairs, Xhelal Sveçla.

Separately, Bojan Jevtiq is the sixth person arrested on espionage charges, as five other suspects were detained within a year.
