“Belgrade should have distanced itself from the criminal group that attacked with weapons and took the life of the police officer Afrim Bunjaku.”

This is what Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama declared at the conference held this Thursday (September 28) in respect to the event that happened on September 24 in Banjska, north of Mitrovica.

“I am expressing the very serious concern as never before in these 10 years about the high risk of the situation in the north of Kosova.

We listened very carefully to yesterday’s statement by Brussels spokesperson who said that there can be no other statement without the results of the investigation.

We could have agreed with this (statement) if at least Serbia had distanced itself from the criminal group and had immediately announced the opening of a serious and independent investigation.

Unfortunately, instead of investigating the event provoked by the Serbian criminal group, the Republic of Serbia declared a day of national mourning,” said Rama.

Albanian Prime Minister once again called on the EU to condemn the declaration of national mourning by Serbia and the honoring by Belgrade of the criminal group that terrorized the north of Kosova.

Meanwhile, the head of Albanian government said that no possible investigation can change the simple facts to be classified as facts in extreme opposition to any democratic principle and to be condemned as such by the EU.

“What investigation does the EU expect, by whom, from the Justice authorities in Kosova? We would agree with this too, but I did not hear the EU spokesperson say it and I don’t think the EU would accept for granted the results of the investigation from Kosova.

Despite the fact that the special forces of Kosova went to prevent the terror initiated by the Serbian criminal group, is the EU investigating impartially? Even that, I did not hear and I don’t know if the EU has engaged any mechanism in this direction. If we hear this, we would be relieved in some way, but only in this direction. What we asked in our communication with our friends in Brussels and what we are asking for today is the unequivocal condemnation of the murder of a police officer in the north of Kosova by a criminal group and all condemnation of the absurd act of national honoring by Serbia of some criminals in non-state military uniforms and armed who appeared in Banjska with the language of heavy weaponry and were annihilated by the defenders of the constitutional order of Kosova,” Albanian Prime Minister was stating.
