I strongly condemn the attack on a EULEX convoy which led to the death of one Lithuanian staff member of the EU Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo. Such violence is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
I offer my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased EULEX staff member, to all members of the EULEX Mission, and to the Lithuanian people and government. I wish a speedy recovery to the injured.
KFOR will continue to take the necessary measures to fulfil its mandate – to contribute to a safe and secure environment and freedom of movement in Kosovo. We will continue to do this in close coordination with EULEX.
