Three Separate Blasts Rock Kosovo Capital
Blasts have caused many reactions by the local and international institutions in Kosovo. "The aim of these dangerous acts is to destabilize our country. (They) came at time when positive assessment of the progress in Kosovo is expected, which will open the way for the recognition of independence," said President Ibrahim Rugova. "It seems there are forces that want to devalue the achievements that our institutions have made," said Kosovo PM, Bajram Kosumi. "But they cannot stop the path towards our goal." "Neither people of Kosovo nor the international community will allow acts of terrorism to divert us from the important work ahead," Philip Goldberg, head of the U.S. office, said in a statement. "The only effects of such incidents are to damage the image and interests of Kosovo . . . and to demonstrate the stupidity of those responsible," said Mark Dickinson, head of the British office in the province. So far, no one claimed responsibility for the attacks and no one was injured in the blasts”, said Refki Morina, Kosovo Police Service- KPS |
