Initially, Artan Hajrizi<\/a> was suspected of committing the crime. However, he later appeared in various media outlets denying his involvement, stating that he was in Germany. He explained that after Faton Hajrizi escaped from prison in Kosovo, he came to his apartment and stole his documents, some of which were found at the scene of the murder.<\/p>\n Ivica Da\u00e7iq<\/a>, who called the incident a terrorist act and attempted to link it to the structures of the Kosovar state, explained how the murder occurred at the Lipni\u010dki \u0160or checkpoint. The suspect was in a Mercedes car with Tutin license plates and was accompanied by another person, the driver. According to the statement from the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs, the suspect fired a weapon, hitting police officer Nikola Kr\u0161manovi\u0107 in the chest and police officer Vjekoslav Ili\u0107 in the shoulder. The officers were then transported to the Loznica Hospital, where Kr\u0161manovi\u0107 succumbed to his injuries.<\/p>\n While the police were still in pursuit of the perpetrator, Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Da\u00e7iq<\/a>, politicized the incident by blaming Kosovo, specifically \"Albanian structures,\" for orchestrating the attack.<\/p>\n \"This cannot be an accident, and the case will be handled by the organized crime prosecutor's office, as the officers were attacked while on duty,\" Da\u010di\u0107 stated.<\/p>\n Da\u010di\u0107 continued to politicize the situation, emphasizing that \"The consequence of this terrorist act and organization is the killing of a police officer, and for this, we demand and expect full cooperation with the German police and EULEX, not lies that no one believes.\"<\/p>\n Aleksandar Vu\u00e7iq<\/a> also reacted, saying, \"I was extremely shocked by the news of the death of Officer Nikola Krsmanovic, who was killed in a cowardly attack while honorably performing his difficult duty.\"<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Petar Petkovic, the director of the Office for Kosovo in the Serbian government, criticized Kosovo's Interior Minister, Xhelal Sve\u00e7la, saying that Sve\u00e7la is always conspicuously silent when Serbs suffer. \"He hasn't said a single word about last night's killing of the Serbian police officer on duty in Loznica.\"<\/p>\n Claims that Kurti is causing chaos in Serbia<\/strong><\/p>\n In line with statements from some Serbian politicians, media outlets there published articles with headlines such as \"Kurti sent terrorists to create chaos in Serbia.\" Similar reports were seen in other media close to the Serbian government, such as Srpski Telegraf<\/a>, Alo.rs<\/a>, Novosti.rs<\/a>.<\/p>\n Photo: Srpski Telegraf<\/p>\n Serbian media gave significant attention to the statement<\/a> by the former Director of the Kosovo Correctional Service, Emrush Tha\u00e7i, who said that \"Hajrizi might cause other casualties or commit suicide, but he 'will not be captured by the Serbian police.'\"<\/p>\n Following the news of Hajrizi's death on Friday afternoon, Serbian media released footage that was also shared<\/a> by media outlets in Kosovo. According to reports in Serbian media, he was killed in an abandoned factory not far from the location where he is suspected of killing police officer Nikola Kr\u0161manovi\u0107 and wounding another.<\/p>\n What was said in Kosovo? <\/strong><\/p>\n On the day the Serbian police officer's death was reported, Prime Minister Albin Kurti held a press conference in Prishtina, where he addressed the killing of the Serbian officer.<\/p>\n He<\/a> urged that the case not be politicized and stated that security agencies were gathering information about the incident in Loznica, Serbia, where the Serbian police officer was killed.<\/p>\n \"I don't have anything additional to add, but the security agencies are gathering information, and I would urge you to closely follow the statements from the Police, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I also expect them to provide their professional statements, as we believe this issue should not be politicized but addressed as it is, from a security, legal, and professional standpoint,\" said Kurti.<\/p>\n Serbia and Kosovo do not have cooperation for information exchange in such cases.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora (MFAD)<\/a> has advised caution when traveling through Serbia or to avoid traveling altogether.<\/p>\n Photo: MFAD<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/sbunker.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Foto-1111111111-214x300.png\")
