The Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Kosovo, Harri Holkeri, has issued a statement strongly condemning an attack that killed one Serb and injured four others in a village in the Gjilane region. “This is a deplorable act and stains Kosovo’s image in the world,” he said. Bertrand Ramcharan, the acting UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, similarly condemned the recent series of attacks throughout the Kosovo region and appealed for an immediate end to the violence stating, “Sunday's attack underlines the urgency of ridding Kosovo of criminal and destructive influences and of establishing a democratic society fully based on the rule of law and respect for human rights.”
