Kosovo President Ibrahim Rugova was quoted as saying "It is a matter for The Hague tribunal and justice, and I am sure that if those people did not commit any crime, they will be released." Calling for co-operation with the UN tribunal, he said justice must be served without interference from political forces.
U međuvremenu, predsednik Kosova Ibrahim Rugova je ocenio: «To je stvar za Haški tribunal i pravdu i ja sam ubeđen da će ti ljudi biti pušteni na slobodu ako nisu počinili nikakav zločin». Pozivajući na saradnju sa tribunalom UN-a on je rekao da pravda mora da bude zadovoljena bez mešanja političkih snaga.
