“Armed groups attacked our patrol and killed Sergeant Afrim Bunjaku. We also had two officials injured. I express my deepest condolences to the family and relatives of the victim. After that, the response of the police officials was immediate and professional, where for a short time they put the territory under control.

We had another official slightly injured, but the others, thanks to their professionalism, managed to perform the operation without injuries and without other victims. In this case, we have 6 arrested, 2 of them injured, in military uniform. We have at least 3 attackers killed. In this case, the police discovered an extraordinary amount of weapons, uniforms, logistics, food, equipment for barricades and we can freely say that they were equipment for several hundred other attackers.

The police are in every corner of the monastery. There are a number of pilgrims there and it will be investigated to ensure that there are no infiltrators from the attackers,” he said.
