On the two -year anniversary of the Banjska attack, where Kosovo Police officer Afrim Bunjaku was killed, the EU has requested that the Serbian authorities bring the responsible persons to justice.
The EU said the attack seriously threatened security in the region, adding that it is expecting Serbia to cooperate with Kosovo authorities to bring the perpetrators to justice.
“We expect authorities in Serbia to arrest and prosecute those in Serbia on relevant charges in front of a court in Serbia. We have not yet received a response from Serbian authorities. We expect Serbia to cooperate on these requests through the Legal Assistance Channel,” the European Union office told Radio Free Europe.
Callies for the authors to come to justice, has also made the French Embassy in Kosovo, recalling the two -year anniversary of the Banjska attack.
“Two years after the criminal attack in Banjska, which took the life of the sergeant Afrim Bunjaku, our opinions are with his family. France continues to call for the perpetrators of this deadly attack to be brought to justice,” the French embassy in Pristina writes.
On September 24, 2023, in the village of Banjska, Afrim Bunjaku was killed during an attack organized by a group of armed Serbs. Despite Radoicic’s responsibility for the attack, he continues to live freely in Belgrade, without being punished by Serbian authorities.
Earlier, Kosovo’s leaders also called on the international community to put pressure on Serbia for the surrender of Milan Radoicic and others involved in the attack.
Kosovo has filed indictments against 45 people for the Banjska attack, but only three of them are being tried, while others remain inaccessible to the Kosovo authorities.
