The rapporteur for Kosovo in the European Parliament, Riho Terras, has condemned the terrorist attack in the Ibër-Lepenci channel, and has emphasized that all criminals must be brought to justice. At the press conference, Terras said that very soon there will be a complete overview of the latest information about Kosovo, writes A2 CNN.

"Tomorrow he plans to visit the north of Kosovo. He will hold several meetings there and at the same time he will visit the place where the attack on the Ibër-Lepenci canal took place. Also, encourage the authorities to work in this direction towards the discovery and enlightenment of this case... All criminals must be brought to justice. I am a general and to make a plan at once I must have a complete overview of the information," he said.

In his first visit to Kosovo, he said that on Tuesday he will visit the north of the country, where he will encourage Kosovo's institutions to shed light on the terrorist attack of November 29, where the country's critical infrastructure was damaged. At the media conference, Terras announced that he has met with institutional leaders in Kosovo, and is expecting to meet opposition leaders, representatives of non-majority communities, and civil society in Kosovo in the coming days.

"Give me the opportunity to meet with all the parties and all the members of the society, in order to get all their views. As I mentioned earlier, to draw up an objective progress report and then we will discuss further", he said.

In addition, the MEP praised Kosovo for undertaking a series of reforms, which according to him, will help the country in its journey towards EU integration. "We are here to help Kosovo in its journey towards integration in the European Union. Kosovo has successfully undertaken a series of reforms in its progress. This is reflected in the Progress Report for 2024. As a rapporteur in the European Parliament, we are here to include all these achievements in the report".

On November 29, an explosion occurred in the Ibër-Lepenci canal, in the village of Varagë in the municipality of Zubin Potok. Local institutions qualified it as a criminal and terrorist attack aimed at damaging Kosovo's critical infrastructure. (A2 Televizion)
