Senator Jeanne Shaheen, senior member of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the US Senate, today condemned the violent attack on the Kosovo police, calling it “brutal” and demanded that the perpetrators be brought to justice.

In a statement to the Voice of America, the senator added that the developments were a consequence of the impasse between Kosovo and Serbia.

“It is extremely unfortunate that President Vucic and Prime Minister Kurti continue to refuse to show a willingness to commit to sustainable solutions. “Sunday’s tragedy underscores the real danger of inaction – we cannot allow innocent lives to pay the price of political paralysis,” she declared.
