Thaci, harsh critics on EULEX

Kuçi’s declarations came after the government meeting, where Prime Minister Hashim Thaçi launched harsh critics against EULEX, since the refusal to support this action falls against the role for which this mission was invited by Kosovo institutions.

Thaçi also asked EULEX to give him as example a single country that allows smuggling and organized crime.

“The usage of our country only as a transitory land for their goods is in full contradiction with the European and Western principles. If EULEX thinks that smuggle, crime and parallel structures are something normal and that should be tolerated, I invite them to give us a specific example of any EU country that allows such things, Thaçi declared.

“We think that EULEX is necessary for the entire Kosovo, or for no one”, Kuçi added.

On the other hand, according to Prime Minister Thaçi, it was the time to undertake such an action, because all efforts in the last 12 years for establishing law and order in that part of the country have failed, not only by Kosovo authorities, but also by internationals.

The Deputy Prime Minister Kuçi added that the Special Units have fulfilled their mandate for establishing law and order in the Custom Checkpoints no.1 and 31, where now there are staying Kosovo Border Police agents and Customs employees.

During this action, a Serbian ambush opened fire and wounded two Kosovo Police agents. One of them, the 32-year-old Enver Zymberi, passed away a few hours later, due to the heavy wounds. Kosovo government offered 25,000 for helping the family of the agent who lost his life in the line of duty, and honored his work for the country with 1 minute of silence.
