Greek authorities have been in contact with their Albanian counterparts and are closely following and monitoring the developments related to an incident in the Albanian village of Bularat where a Greek citizen allegedly opened fire on Albanian police with a Kalashnikov as they were attempting to apprehend him.
A short while ago, we were formally informed that Konstantinos Katsifas was killed during an exchange of fire with Albanian police.
We express our deep sorrow on the death of the Greek expatriate, as well as our condolences to his family.
In any case, it is unacceptable that the operation led to the loss of human life.
We await for the Albanian authorities to provide complete clarification about the conditions under which the Greek citizen lost his life, and we shall proceed with all necessary action immediately.
