U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for the Western Balkans, Alexander Kasanof, stated that the United States is assisting Kosovo in conducting the investigation into the November 29th attack on the Iber-Lepenci canal, in the village of Varragë, Zubin Potok.
Kasanof emphasized that it is critical for the investigation to follow the facts on the ground and to consider all available information, highlighting the importance of cooperation with international partners to ensure a credible investigation into the attack.
“It was a terrible attack. We have condemned it in the strongest possible terms, and I will reiterate here that we condemn any such attack. We are helping Kosovo and the Kosovo government carry out the investigation. We have provided resources for this purpose. And we believe it is critically important that every investigation follows the facts on the ground, properly examines all the information, and works with international partners in this context to ensure that a credible investigation is conducted. What I can say is that such acts are not only horrific but are clearly designed to create instability, and we reject them in the strongest possible way,” Kasanof stated in an interview with Voice of America.
