I condemn in the strongest possible terms the hideous attack by an armed gang against Kosovo Police officers in Banjska/Banjskë in the north of Kosovo, which left one police officer dead and two injured. All facts about the attack need to be established. The responsible perpetrators must face justice.

More innocent lives are at risk in ongoing hostilities in the surroundings of Banjska Monastery. These attacks must stop immediately.

EULEX, as second security responder, is on the ground and in close contact with the authorities and KFOR.

The EU and its Member States repeatedly urge all actors to work to de-escalate the situation in north of Kosovo.
