UNMIK/PR/1584

PRISTINA – PDSRSG Steven Schook expressed outrage at the attack in Klina last night, in which four members of a Kosovo Serb family were wounded in an explosion at their home.

“We condemn this act of violence directed at innocent people,” the PDSRSG said. “Violence cannot be a means to achieve an end. It serves no purpose and it certainly is not in the interests of Kosovo.”

The PDSRSG asked Police Commissioner Stephen Curtis to vigorously pursue the investigation into the attack, and called on anyone with knowledge of the incident to come forward and assist the police.

“I was encouraged to see the immediate reaction of the Kosovo authorities to this incident, including by the Prime Minister and Mayor of Klina. We must all work together to ensure that Kosovo is a place where people of all ethnicities can live together in peace,” the PDSRSG said.
