Kosovo's acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, has stated that intelligence data shows that the three Serbs accused of the explosion in the vital Ibër-Lepenc water canal were closely connected to Serbian state structures.
A day earlier, Kosovo prosecutors filed indictments against Jovan Viqentijevic, Dragisa Viqentijevic and Igor Dimovic for last year's explosion in the water canal that supplies the country's two main thermal power plants.
They are accused of detonating 20 kilograms of TNT into the canal, damaging its concrete structure, disrupting the drinking water supply and disrupting the cooling system for coal-fired power plants, which raised concerns about power outages.
All three were arrested after the attack.
Kurti has repeated previous statements that "the attack came from Serbia, our northern, aggressive and hostile neighbor."
" The investigation of this case is now well underway, with evidence being obtained that the three accused Serbs were at the scene of the incident on the critical night, for which I thank the relevant institutions of the Republic of Kosovo and the FBI from the United States of America for the professional work carried out in this case ," Kurti said.
He added that the accused were part of Serbia's illegal structures, "closely linked to the friend of the Serbian president, the terrorist Milan Radoićić."
