Monday's accusation came a day after the killing of a police officer during an ambush and an ensuing firefight at a monastery near the border with Serbia marked one of the gravest escalations in Kosovo for years. "Many things will be resolved during the investigations," Kurti told Manuel Sarrazin, the German envoy for the Western Balkans, during a meeting on Monday.
The gunmen fled to a nearby monastery, where they barricaded themselves in and traded gunfire with Kosovo police for hours. At least four assailants were killed in the melee.
