Doctors of the Health Care Center in Gracanica has warned of a difficult situation of patients in Central Kosovo due to cut-off fixed and mobile telephony and stated a number of cases where lives were endangered since people could not call medical service.

This is the 12th day since the telephone lines in Kosovo were cut off, and our emergency service is facing problems due to lack of communication unworthy of the 21st century, the communiqué reads.

Cases were stated when lives of patients were endangered, including that of the patient M.D. who died on September 28 as his family could not call the emergency service.

The Center appeals to media and the public to enable the normal functioning of doctors and establish telephone lines in Kosovo. Authorities in Pristina removed antennas of the Serbian Mobile Telephony in Kosovo leaving some 100,000 Kosovo Serbs without signal.
