KSF Commander Nundman Rama has confirmed the annulment of the visit of Commander of the National Guard of Iwa, Major General Timothy Orr, prior to taking place on the 11th anniversary of citizenship.

He has indicated that he was told openly that General Orr will not come in protest of the government's stance about the tax, information which the KSF commander also gave to Kosovo's prime minister.

But, Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, as reported earlier, has denied today during the day to be aware of the annulment of the visit.

Meanwhile, the KSF commander has confirmed to KTV that 25-year-old M.S., by Partesh, a Serb member of KSF who allegedly attempted to rape a minor.
