Marko Đurić was arrested during the meeting with local Serbs at 26 March 2018 in North Mitrovica by the Special Units of Kosovo Police, after crossing the territory of Kosovo. Kosovo’s deputy prime minister Enver Hoxhaj claimed that Đurić’s presence in Kosovo 'without authorization' of the Kosovar authorities was in breach of EU agreements between the two sides (Brussels Agreement). During the arrest, many journalists were injured by some members of Kosovo Police which was condemned by European Broadcasting Union and OSCE. The act of arrest and violence was condemned by Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić who said that Đurić's trip was legal and in fact according to the Brussels agreement. Đurić was then taken to Pristina, the capital of Kosovo, brought in front of a judge and then escorted from the territory of Kosovo.
