Nikolic urges condemnation,probe into Albanian terrorist act

Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic called for condemnation of the recent terrorist act by ethnic Albanians in Kumanovo, northern Macedonia, at a conference held in Budva on Monday

Nikolic qualified it as a vicious act of extremists who use terror to achieve their political goals, adding that some countries regrettably dismiss such acts as “incidents".

"We are astounded and deeply concerned over the latest brutal act by Albanian terrorists in Kumanovo. What has happened there is unacceptable. Also alarming is the fact that this crime is sometimes labeled simply as “urban guerilla”. You can easily imagine the barrage of accusations, followed by threats and actions, against some other perpetrators, even for acts of much smaller scale,” he said.

An objective and expert investigation is needed to shed light on what really took place and what was done to punish the perpetrators of the crime in Kumanovo, Nikolic pointed out.
