PRISTINA – PDSRSG Charles Brayshaw called on President Ibrahim Rugova this afternoon, and on behalf of SRSG Harri Holkeri, he strongly condemned the grenade attack on the President’s house early this morning, terming it “outrageous and cowardly”.

The SRSG telephoned President Rugova shortly after the attack.

Mr. Brayshaw briefed the President on the police investigation so far and discussed with him security procedures to protect senior officials of the Kosovo government. UNMIK takes this attack very seriously and will thoroughly investigate this and other extremist actions, which undermine security for the people of Kosovo.
