Kurti meets O'Brien, they talk about the attack in Ibër-Lepenc

The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, met in Brussels with the US Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia, James O'Brien, with whom he discussed the November 29 attack on the Ibër-Lepenci water channel in Zubin Potok.

Kurti, according to the media release, shared with the senior American official details about the attack on Kosovo's critical infrastructure.

"The attack of November 29 was an attack on the civilian population, as through it there was a risk that more than half of the country's population would be left without electricity and without water," said Kurti.

The attack in Zubin Potok's Varraghe has been condemned by the United States and the American ambassador in Pristina, Jeff Hovenier, stated a few days ago that despite the fact that it is still too early to know the culprit, at this stage "no group or state can be excluded".

Kosovo has blamed Serbia for the attack, but Belgrade has denied involvement and condemned it.

Kurti told O'Brien that the attack in Zubin Potok was the second attack "on a large scale against national security, after the paramilitary attack on September 24, 2023 in Banjska, which aimed to annex the north of the country and where a sergeant was killed of the Kosovo Police, and the biggest and most serious attack on critical infrastructure, which was aimed at interrupting or hindering essential services, such as electricity, water and telecommunications, and disorder of social, civic, economic and institutional life".

The Ibër-Lepenc Canal supplies water from Lake Ujman to the entire north of Kosovo, the regions of Mitrovica, Pristina and its surroundings, as well as the Kosovo Energy Corporation for cooling its thermal power plants./ REL
