OSCE Mission in Kosovo condemns killing in Dobrushë/Dobruša

PRISHTINË/PRIŠTINA, 21 October 2011 – The Acting Head of the OSCE Mission in Kosovo, Edward Joseph, condemned today the killing of one Kosovo Serb and the wounding of two others in Dobrushë/Dobruša village in western Kosovo.

“This shocking act tears at our conscience. The use of violence in the course of disputes is both unacceptable and an affront to Kosovo’s developing democracy,” said Joseph.

“I express my deepest condolences to the family of the deceased, Miško Komatina, and I wish a speedy recovery to the other victims, Draško Ojdanić and Dejan Bogićević.”

The shooting incident occurred mid-day yesterday in Dobrushë/Dobruša village.

“It is encouraging that the police have a suspect in custody as of this morning and we are hopeful that justice will be served,” added Joseph.

The OSCE Mission in Kosovo promotes human rights and the safety of all people living in Kosovo.
