“In line with its mandate and within the limits permitted by the then ongoing security situation, EULEX closely monitored the security developments during the entire of the Kosovo Police’s operation, remaining at all times in close coordination with the Kosovo Police and KFOR/NATO,” the spokesperson stated.
“The Mission also monitored and is continuing to monitor activities carried by the Kosovo authorities in relation to the attack, such as investigations, seizures and searches.”
Earlier today, Pavlovic Today obtained a letter written by Peter Petković, Director of the Office for Kosovo, in which he formally requested the EULEX Mission in Kosovo to establish an independent commission to investigate the circumstances surrounding the tragic deaths of three ethnic Serbs in Banjska on September 24, 2023.
