Head of OSCE Mission in Kosovo condemns killing in Mitrovicë/Mitrovica

PRISHTINË/PRIŠTINA, 10 November 2011 – The Head of the OSCE Mission in Kosovo, Ambassador Werner Almhofer, condemned today the killing of a Kosovo Serb and the wounding of two others in northern Mitrovicë/Mitrovica last night.

“I convey my deepest condolences to the family of Savo Mojsić, and wish a speedy recovery to Veljko Đorđević and Radoš Vukićević,” said Almhofer.

“Use of violence is unacceptable. Too many lives have been lost in Kosovo over the last two decades, and this must stop. I appeal to all people in Kosovo to remain calm and to allow law enforcement to do their work,” he stated.

The shooting incident occurred following a reported altercation between Kosovo Serbs and Kosovo Albanias. Vukićević was one of the Kosovo police officers who responded to the incident.

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