This attack resulted in the death of a Kosovo Police officer named Afrim Bunjaku.<\/p>\n<p>Following the attack, the assailants sought refuge in the Banjska Monastery, leading to a standoff with the police. During the ensuing clashes, three of the attackers lost their lives.<\/p>\n<p>The European Union characterized the incident as a terrorist act, while Serbia vehemently denied any involvement in the attack.
