UN envoy condemns murder of two Kosovo Serbs

The senior United Nations envoy to Kosovo today condemned a shooting incident last night in which two Kosovo Serb men were killed and another two injured.

“I am shocked and appalled by this senseless and tragic crime,” said Søren Jessen-Petersen.

The envoy said he has requested the police “to devote maximum attention and leave no stone unturned to catch the perpetrators of this heinous criminal act.”

Mr. Jessen-Petersen also urged restraint. “I ask all those who might have information on this crime, including on those who might have committed it, to report it to the police,” he said.
