PRISTINA – SRSG Harri Holkeri issued the following the statement today:
“This is a dark day for Kosovo.
“Incidents of recent days, the drownings last night and the violent deaths today are profoundly shocking and disturbing.
“They must all be investigated fully and rapidly.
“But there is no excuse for further violence.
“It is essential that people remain calm and do not add to the tension and general insecurity.
“I appeal to everyone to return to their homes and allow the police and KFOR to do their jobs and provide security for everyone.
“I call on the news media to take care to avoid inflammatory language and unsubstantiated reports.
“Kosovo’s future depends on its behaviour, its adherence to Standards, today and every day.”
