The Head of the OSCE Mission in Kosovo, Ambassador Jan Braathu, is shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the murder of Oliver Ivanović in Mitrovica North today.
“He was among the most prominent Kosovo Serb representatives for almost two decades. He demonstrated relentless engagement for the benefit of his community and has been a valued interlocutor in Kosovo,” said Ambassador Braathu.
“Oliver Ivanović’s murder is profoundly distressing,” he added. “I have had the privilege of knowing him personally over the years and have always admired his intellect, composure, and commitment. To see that a politician can be murdered in cold-blood in 2018 in Kosovo is a devastating thought. I condemn in the strongest possible terms this heinous act and urge law enforcement, but also all stakeholders, to do their utmost to bring perpetrators to justice. This will be a major test for rule of law in Kosovo,” added Ambassador Braathu.
The OSCE Mission in Kosovo sends heart-felt condolences to Mr. Ivanović’s family, friends, and associates.
