Kosovo’s Security Council met early this morning under Prime Minister Albin Kurti, following a third attack in three days targeting the country’s critical infrastructure.
This latest assault, which hit Kosovo’s water supply and electricity systems, marks a sharp escalation. Authorities suspect the attack was orchestrated by Serbian-backed groups, with early indications pointing to Serbia’s involvement.
“The evidence suggests the Serbian state is behind this attack, part of a wider campaign to destabilise Kosovo,” the Prime Minister’s office said in a statement. During the meeting, the Security Council discussed emergency steps to deal with the attack’s fallout and protect vital infrastructure across the country.
In response, the Kosovo government has moved quickly to restore normal services, reassuring citizens that water and electricity supplies will be back up and running soon. Additional security measures have been approved to protect key sites, including bridges and power stations.
Prime Minister Kurti emphasized Kosovo’s resolve to protect both its citizens and its infrastructure. “We will not tolerate any efforts to destabilise our country,” he said. He also urged international partners to condemn the attack and support Kosovo in its recovery.
This attack follows a powerful explosion in the village of Varagë, Zubin Potok, on Friday evening, which damaged a critical water canal used in energy production. The blast disrupted water supply services, but Kosovo’s Regional Water Supply Company has been working to restore them.
Kosovo authorities are also stepping up cooperation with international partners to prevent similar attacks in the future. Local security forces have been deployed to secure the affected areas and ensure the safety of residents.
