UN envoy condemns attack on Kosovo's Environment Minister

The senior United Nations envoy to Kosovo today deplored a blast which wounded the province's environment minister and several others.

“I was deeply shocked and appalled by the car explosion on the night of 21 February, in which Ethem Çeku, Minister of Environment and Spatial Planning, and four others were injured,” Harri Holkeri said in a statement.

Condemning this attack, he said it “undermines the rule of law and is against the democratic process in Kosovo.”
