PRISTINA – SRSG Søren Jessen-Petersen this evening issued the following statement upon learning of the attempt on the life of KPS Regional Commander in Gjilan/Gnjilane:
“I was shocked to learn of the brutal attack this evening on the Regional Commander of the KPS in Gjilan/Gnjilane, Colonel Dejan Jankovic.
I am greatly relieved to learn that the injuries are not life- threatening, and I send Col. Jankovic my best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.
I condemn this criminal act. Such acts of violence have no place in Kosovo or indeed in any society. Whoever perpetrated this cowardly attempt is an enemy of progress in Kosovo.”
