“I strongly condemn the attack on the Kosova Police in the municipality of Leposaviç, where one policeman was killed and two others were injured. This organized criminal act is a serious violation of the order and security in the Republic of Kosova. I call on the international community to react decisively to the orderers and implementers of this extremely serious act for the stability of Kosova and peace in the Western Balkans region. I express my sincere condolences to the family of the murdered officer and wish a quick recovery to the injured officer. In these moments, calmness, prudence and close cooperation with KFOR and allies are needed more than ever. Albania stands always in support of Kosova,” writes Begaj.
