Kurti international calls to sanction Serbia: We can tolerate a repeat of what happened in Bansica

Kurti has said Serbia must be sanctioned so that there won't be another Banjska repeat.

We consider it necessary that two months after the terrorist attack in Banjska it is a time enough to have detailed investigations and conclusions on this act of aggression on our country that violated state sovereignty, territorial integrity and our national security. From our point of view, both sovereignty and security and rule of law are issues that represent both values and interests, and we do not compromise with them, and in a situation like Zvecan's, there are three things that practically represent the same thing. The conclusion of European Union investigations, KFOR, EULEX, US, is also needed on the one hand, but sanctions and measures on Serbia on the other. The measures against Serbia we do not want to have punishment and punishment, but, first of all, no repetition. We can't tolerate it, we can't bear any repetition that looks like September 24th. For this reason it should be done now, not tomorrow”, Prime Minister Kurti said.

On September 24th, a member of the Kosovo Police was killed when armed persons -- about 30 Sosh -- attacked police units in the village of Banjsk é, the Serb-run residential area in the north.

In the subsequent clashes between the armed group and the rule forces, three terrorists were killed and six people allegedly linked to them were arrested, some of whom were later released.

Kosovo police after taking control of the monastery in the village of Banjska found a large quantity of arms and military vehicles among them, including vehicles with KFOR inscriptions.

The responsibility for organising the armed group had been taken over by Milan Radoic, former deputy chairman of the Serbian List, the largest party of Kosovo Serbs. He was released by the Supreme Court of Serbia, a day after being detained under suspicion that he has committed a series of acts including arms trafficking and crimes against general security.

The attack was described as a terrorist act and aggression against the state of Kosovo and was also condemned by international actors.

After this attack NATO has stepped up presence in Kosovo, sending additional troops
