Kosovo: UN official pays tribute to memory of slain Serbian teenagers

The recent killing of two Kosovo Serbian teenagers should serve as the impetus to promote reconciliation in the area, a senior United Nations official said at the funeral.

“Everyone in Kosovo should mourn this tragedy for their society,” said Charles Brayshaw on Friday. “The majority population of Kosovo knows in its own hearts that terrible pain has been inflicted on the families of the two boys in Gorazdevac and the Serbian community in Kosovo, and we must all work to heal that pain.”

Mr. Brayshaw also conveyed condolences to the families of the victims on behalf of the UN's senior Kosovo envoy, Harri Holkeri.
