The brother of the deceased, a judge at the Basic Court in Ferizaj, said the family conducted the funeral according to recommendations coming from the central level.

"My brother had heart and breathing problems. After his death, the institute took samples and a test for coronavirus was positive, but he showed no symptoms of a flu. My brother worked as a driver at Camp Bondstil during this pandemic period. Up to two days before his death, he worked constantly. The funeral has already been done, meanwhile we have sent the list of family members to the institute and are waiting for them to come collect samples from us, because of possible contacts with the deceased," said his brother.

According to him, the man did not leave Kosovo during the pandemic.
