The spokesperson of the European Union for Foreign and Security Policy, Peter Stano, has said that the position of the European bloc is clear that a terrorist attack was carried out in Banjska i Zvecani on Sunday.
At the press conference, Stano said that the EU is waiting for the full investigations to be carried out, before taking any measures.
"I want to clearly repeat the position of the EU on what happened on Sunday. This was a terrorist attack and it must be investigated, and those responsible must be brought to justice. Everyone involved, or who can, is required to cooperate in order to ensure that this attack is fully investigated and that those who planned, executed or were behind it are brought to justice. The EU has repeated this position several times", said Stano.
As for the statements of the president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, who said that the Albanian police "do not have what they are looking for in the north", Stano did not want to comment on them.
He was asked by the TIME correspondent, Augustin Palokaj, if there is any agreement where Kosovo Albanian policemen are not allowed to enter the north.
"We do not comment on every statement, every interpretation about what happened. We have a very serious situation. However, we do not engage with partners in the region through public channels. If we have something to say, we say it directly to our partners. Everyone has obligations and knows very well what the EU receives. When the member states have all the information, then they will decide if they want to react with any statement, interpretation or how they will react in relation to those who are found to be guilty of the attack", said Stano.
