State leaders pay tribute to fallen police officers

On the Memorial Day for police officers who lost their lives in the line of duty, acting President Albulena Haxhiu, together with acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti and members of the government cabinet, paid tribute at the Memorial of Fallen Police Officers.

Haxhiu stressed that the foundations of the country’s freedom, security and sovereignty also rest on the sacrifice of officers who were killed in the line of duty.

She noted that among the 24 police officers remembered, who demonstrated loyalty to the Republic of Kosovo and its people, are also the names of Enver Zymberi and Afrim Bunjaku. According to her, the latter fell in an effort to protect the territorial integrity, constitutional order and independence of the state.

“Today we remember that the freedom, security and sovereignty of our state were also built on the sacrifice of police officers who fell in the line of duty, who gave everything, even their lives, for Kosovo and the citizens of our Republic. Glory to their lives and deeds! Glory to their sublime sacrifice,” she concluded.
