Article published in the newspaper "Alo.rs":


Despite the claim that during the arrest of Millenkovic in north Mitrovica, tear gas was fired by the police, including children, this is not argued with any footage or photographs.

From the footage published in the media and social networks of the moment of Milenkovic's arrest, no element of the use of tear gas is visible. (here, here, here)

Likewise, the media did not report the use of tear gas by the Police at the time of Millenkovic's arrest.
