The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, reacting to the car with Serbian license plates where a large amount of explosives and weapons were discovered, called it a terrorist organization and added that the hand grenades that were found were also used on May 29 against KFOR soldiers.
He said that the large amount of weapons discovered shows the extent of the planned criminal action that was prevented by the Kosovo police, stressing that Serbia is clearly positioned in the escalation of the situation.
Kurt's reaction:
Last night, the Kosovo Police (KP) in cooperation with the Kosovo Intelligence Agency (KIA) prevented a terrorist attack by discovering in Zveçan, 100 meters near the Municipality building, a car with many weapons, ammunition and various military equipment.
The panorama of this terrorist organization is clear: cars with Belgrade license plates, the property of the state railway company of Serbia; the weapons found were all produced in Serbia, including hand grenades produced in 2021, such as were used in the May 29, 2023 attack in Zvečan against KFOR soldiers; vests with inscriptions of Russian and Serbian units and the logo and identifying marks of the "Severna Brigada" organization, as well as explosive devices previously used by the illegal formation with criminal activities "Civil Defense". The large amount of weaponry found indicates the magnitude of the planned action and the consequences prevented.
Serbia is clearly positioned for the escalation of the situation. In addition to the aggression that Serbia has undertaken against the Republic of Kosovo by kidnapping 3 Kosovo Police officials inside our territory on June 14, 2023, it has taken the fight against the legal and constitutional order of the Republic of Kosovo one step further by organizing terrorist attacks.
I am grateful to KP and KIA for the work they are doing all this time in preserving legality and constitutionality and in preventing crime and terrorism in that part of the Republic of Kosovo.
