“The planned operation for the return of some of our citizens from Syria has ended successfully,” Justice Minister Abelrad Tahiri said at the airport early on Saturday. After hours at the airport, two buses with women and children were transported under police escort to army barracks just outside Pristina. More than 300 Kosovo citizens, men, women and children, have travelled to Syria since 2012. In 2015, Kosovo adopted a law making fighting in foreign conflicts punishable by up to 15 years in jail. There have been no Islamist attacks on its soil, although more than 100 men have been jailed or indicted on charges of fighting in Syria and Iraq.
