“Based on the findings so far, it has been determined that the explosion was a deliberate attack, and that it was a criminal terrorist act carried out by the suspects,” the statement reads.
There is no information about the suspects, but the highest Kosovo officials have already directly pointed the finger at the Serbian side. The Kosovo Police continued to coordinate their work, including informing international security institutions.
“The Kosovo Police has increased security measures at sensitive locations and continues to work intensively to shed light on this incident,” they add at the end, calling on citizens to report any information or knowledge.
