Three Germans arrested in Kosovo on this week are allegedly spies working for a German intelligence agency, German media reported Saturday, Nov. 22. Lawmakers are demanding details of the arrests.
The three Germans were arrested Wednesday in Kosovo are agents for the Germany Federal Intelligence Agency (BND), Der Spiegel newsmagazine and the daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported Saturday.
The Germans were arrested by Kosovar police in connection with an attack on the European Union's headquarters in Pristina on Nov. 14. No one was hurt in the explosion and indications of the attack's background or possible motives remain unclear.
The suspects were in Kosovo "in a private capacity" and had no immunity from prosecution, police spokesman Veton Elshani told the German news agency dpa.
None of the German trio were "diplomats, police, soldiers or experts with international identification," Kosovar investigators said on Friday.
The alleged spies said they were simply inspecting damage done by the bomb's explosion and were not involved in the attack, according to the Spiegel report.
One of the men told Kosovar authorities he was working for the BND, the daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported.

A German government spokesman declined to speculate about the possible involvement of Berlin's security services (BND) in the case on Friday and instead pointed to the ongoing investigations.
German politicians in the opposition have called for the government to inform a parliamentary oversight committee.
"The status has to be made clear," Max Stadler, the free-market liberal FDP's expert for interior affairs, told dpa on Saturday, adding that lawmakers needed to be informed regardless of whether there was sufficient material to charge the Germans.
Governments usually register their intelligence agents with foreign authorities to ensure they are covered by diplomatic immunity. Berlin failed to accredit the three agents, leaving their legal status in Kosovo unclear, according to Der Spiegel.
An EU mission is due to take over the oversight of law-enforcement in Kosovo after more than eight years of a United Nations protectorate.
Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in February. Pristina, Belgrade, the UN and EU are currently wrangling over the conditions for the deployment of the EU mission, the Eulex, comprising 2,000 police, judicial and customs officials.
Congrats to the authorities for doing an excellent job and proving that Kosova is functioning like a Democracy.
I will continue with every Fiber of my being to keep America involved with troops that can shoot and kill to protect the rights of the Albanian people where ever they reside in the Balkans.

the only grateful Albanian is the one with a boot up his ass. These are the descendants of people who betrayed the church in exchange for some Turkish sultans pat on the back -- like dogs.

Albos are born criminals, I dont think anyone could go from one part of the country to another without getting mugged. That picture isnt photoshopped, its what your albo friends do after US was grateful enough to help them out, betrayal at its best.
NOBODY in Albania can dare to commit any Anti-American acts in Albania so you are getting too despared...and quiet lame I'd say.
The Russians should be the last ones to talk about thuggs...get the fvck out of here...
@ Orao,
I dont know man...for the Kosovar government to display these men like that, I'd guess that those three can actually be responsible for the act...
I dont think they are guessing, because the German government had been one of our biggest allies, and if they werent sure for these guys they could have simply burried this incident very fast.
The Kosovar sociaty, as you know in the whole Balkans is a very closed one. And the Albanian one is the tighest. It is not easy for the foreign agents to operate, even though it may look too easy. Everyone there knows everyone in their towns, so a foreigner cannot go unnoticed. Even if he spoke fluently Albanian, he will always be on the watch. I mean the god damn old ladies who have nothing to do all day in front of their windows could know every detail of his movement...
I am afraid that these men, staying there for so many months have been noticed and well watched.
That is my guess.
Now why would they do it and for what purpose...I dont know... A small incident like that doesnt really make any strong statement. If they had planned something big and horrible, I could understand...
I will continue with every Fiber of my being to keep America involved with troops that can shoot and kill to protect the rights of the Albanian people where ever they reside in the Balkans.

Joe Biden is a fanatic friend of ours. I was hoping John McCain could win, because that was probably my only chance to brag about having a picture with the U.S President... but you never know...maybe in the future. Our community here is becoming more influential than our enemies would liketo think...but who cares,,,let them talk ****...
The Turks are impressing me with their steady and progressive path. Very well organized.

no news here, European union wants to resolve kosovo problem with partition of kosovo.
Serbia will be part of European union by 2013, and the deal includes partition of Serbian regions of kosovo.
Europeans don't want a second Bosnia in their hands, failed artificial unity state.
rapture will come for Bosnia also. it will only need a minor ccrise for Serbs and Croats path their independent way.

LOL, which country do I despise? If its the US you better have some proof to back it up, or is ze fake german just barking because germans cars are over-priced ugly tin cans? Or is it that the nazi scum who came to Russia to murder women and children got slaughtered in the gulags?
I had located that earlier, but I was too busy for other things...thanks to the above poster beating me to it...
Russian scum

@albanian guy you seems to excited about such things ,people like us cant understnad this -in the US many people has business and things - whats so great about anyway? US is US and never will be albanina or german or italian if they support you its because politics and it will be change onetime-
The U.S will always be U.S
but the communities here will always have their voice heard if their motherland was in trouble...
look at Israel and Armenia...
If Ireland, Germany or Italy was to have a problem I am 100% sure that this country would step in hurry to help and support, because a big chunk of this country is made up of these groups that influence it. Thats how it works.
For example, look at my state New York. The Albanian population here has dramatically increased the last 30 years. Not only we are a large minority but we are a very wealthy one. It is not a coincidence that all politicians from New York are so pro-Albanian...
I am looking back and I am comparing the Albanians I know in New York and their situation 4 years ago and now. I own my own home now, and most of my friends and their relatives that owned 1 restaurant and pizzaria, now they own multiple...in an economy that is declining...
I will repeat, lets see in 5 years period...we are going to be a bigger part of those balls that Uncle Sam has...and sure, I will be sucking them hard.
God Bless America.

You have me confused with the Russian idiot, who was talking about Albanians sucking uncle Sams balls.
