Chief Imam of Kosovo Sabri Bajgora stated recently that 'Muslims will not be responsible for any consequences whatsoever to Protestants if they do not stop their activity in this country.'
The Kosovo Government also thanked Protestant Evangelical believers for all their help given to the Kosova population between 1999-2012.
