Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti reiterated during a meeting with British MP Alicia Kearns on Sunday that Serbia should be punished for last month's attack in northern Kosovo "so as not to repeat it again."
In a press release Sunday, the Government of Kosovo said that at the meeting between Kurti and Kearns "it was stressed that the main priority for the Republic of Kosovo is the security of the state and citizens."
"Following the terrorist and criminal attack of September 24th by paramilitary groups with sponsorship and participation of Serbia, punishment is crucial for non-renuncing," Kurti said.
About two months before the attack on Kosovo Police by an armed Serb group in Banjska, Zvecan on September 24 – where Sergeant Afrim Bunjaku was killed – Kearns had said that "weapons are being smuggled in ambulances and then stored in church facilities."
Kosovo police have found an extraordinary arsenal of weapons in the north following the attack, which they said were entered into Kosovo through Serbia.
Kosovo has accused Serbia of trying to "annex the whole of northern Kosovo," which Serbia has denied, although the attack was blamed by Milan Radojic, the then-deputy head of Lista Srpska, the largest Party of Serbs in Kosovo that has belgrade's support.
Kurti, according to the government's announcement, also expressed "full commitment" to the implementation of the Basic Agreement and its annexation, which Kosovo and Serbia reached earlier this year.
Kurti's meeting with Kearns comes just a day after the Kosovar leader hosted Western envoys in Pristina on Saturday.
Western envoys urged Pristina and Belgrade during Saturday's meetings with Kurti in Pristina, and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic in Belgrade, to normalize relations and implement the agreement toward normalization.
Kearns, meanwhile, stayed in Kosovo this weekend at the invitation of Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani, with whom he met yesterday. She was also received by the Head of Parliament of Kosovo, Glauk Konjufca.
