Reports about the killing of Xhafer Zymberi, allegedly member of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, in weekend’s clashes between armed groups and FYROM police, could not be confirmed by AAK. A senior AAK official said they have no official information of Zymberi’s death. “I don’t know why there are attempts to involve the AAK in these events because this person [Zymberi] is part of AAK leading structures or a member of the party,” the unnamed official said.

He added that the party will not come out with a statement until there is official information about Zymberi. “It is not clear what is actually going on and we have more misinformation than official information,” the source added.

Xhafer Zymberi was AAK’s candidate in Kosovo’s general election and a former member of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) in the Dukagjini zone.
