An explosion that occurred on the evening of November 29 in the village of Varragë in the municipality of Zubin Potok has damaged the Ibër-Lepenci water channel, from where water is supplied from Lake Ujman to several cities in the country, as well as the Kosovo Energy Corporation for cooling its thermal power plants.

There were no victims from this explosion, according to Kosovo authorities.

The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, has accused Kosovo’s northern neighbor, Serbia, of a “criminal and terrorist attack”, which, according to him, aimed to “damage perhaps the most important infrastructure” of the country.

Meanwhile, international representatives in Kosovo have strongly condemned the explosion in Ibër-Lepenc.

Kurti said in an extraordinary media conference, before midnight, that through the attack, an attempt was made to jeopardize Kosovo’s supply of water and electricity.

He called on the citizens to “be calm and follow the official announcements” from the country’s bodies, which he said “are engaged in managing the situation and recovering the damage”.

The head of the Kosovar executive has declared that the explosion in Zubin Potok is a terrorist attack, which the Kosovo authorities believe “comes from gangs directed and orchestrated by Serbia, which has the interest and ability to cause such attacks and damage”.
