Kosovo Police Service (KPS) spokesman Veton Elshani told reporters today that the pair are believed to have been among a group responsible for allowing seven inmates to run away. Two Kosovo prison break guards arrested Seven Dubrava guards have been arrested so far, along with three persons who held the prison under siege, seven others who helped prisoners hide once they escaped, and two of the inmates. The escapees, identified as Faton Hajrizi, Burim Basha, Amir Sopa, Astrit Shabani, Ramadan Shiti, Xdavid Morina and Lirim Jakupi, were imprisoned for serious charges that include murder and armed robbery, committed in Macedonia and Kosovo.
