Three children died late Saturday in the village of Jabllanicë, Gjakova, as a result of the collapse of an old building.

According to the daily report of the Kosovo Police, the building collapsed under unknown circumstances, while the three boys – two 15 years old and the other 14 years old – were inside when the tragedy occurred.

It is believed that the children were playing in the apartment when it collapsed, and it is suspected that they remained under the rubble for several hours until the incident was understood by the residents of the area.

The President of Kosovo expressed her most sincere condolences to the families for the incident, which she called tragic.

There are no words that can ease the pain of the families who are today facing the endless void left behind by the loss of their loved ones.

"In this moment of great sorrow, we share with you the indescribable pain, expressing our sincere condolences and standing with you in mind and heart. May their young souls rest in peace," Osmani wrote in a Facebook post.
The Speaker of the Assembly of Kosovo, Glauk Konjufca, has called for a thorough investigation into the case.

The Mayor of Gjakova, Ardian Gjini, said he was shocked by the news of the death of three children, and offered his condolences to the families.

"Let's do everything we can to be with the families in these difficult times!", he said in a Facebook post.
The Mayor of Pristina, Përparim Rama, expressed condolences to the families and said that the capital is ready to offer any possible assistance to the Municipality of Gjakova.

"Such a tragedy reminds us of our shared responsibility to create a safer environment for all! Sincere condolences to all their families, friends and relatives," Rama said on Facebook.
