Ambassador of Russia to Belgrade Alexander Chepurin met yesterday the head of the UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) Zahir Tanin. Chepurin told Tanin that Russia counts that the UN will take all measures to investigate the recent attack on a Russian citizen, UNMIK's official Mikhail Krasnoshchekov, reported Belgrade based daily Blic, quoting Chepurin's post on Twitter.

"We count on the UN to take all measures to investigate the bandit attack on UNMIK's official Mikhail Krasnoshchekov," Chepurin announced on his Twitter account with a photo from the meeting.

This is, as he added, a principled question.

"If violence is carried out without consequences, it will continue. Criminals should be punished," Chepurin said.
