After failing to obtain a satisfactory response from Turkey concerning the release from custody of a suspect in an assassination attempt against Lars Hedegaard, an outspoken Danish critic of Islam, Denmark has reported the issue to a senior figure within the EU.

Denmark's Foreign Minister Martin Lidegaard said in a written statement on Wednesday that he had informed Federica Mogherini, the EU's foreign policy chief, about the matter when the two officials met in Copenhagen on Monday. “The [Danish] government approaches this issue with great seriousness and we continue to pressure Turkey to obtain clear answers,” he said.

“We are dealing the issue with a new understanding both in Ankara and in Copenhagen,” Lidegaard said, adding that Turkey's ambassador to Denmark, Mehmet Dönmez, has been summoned to the Danish Foreign Ministry.

Last week, the Danish Foreign Ministry sent a note to the Turkish Foreign Ministry asking a series of questions concerning the release of the suspect. According to the Danish Berlingske daily, Denmark did not receive a satisfactory response from Turkey concerning why and where the suspect was released as well as his whereabouts after Danish officials visited Ankara in October.

Denmark sent a delegation of government officials to Turkey on Oct. 17 to meet with the National Intelligence Organization (MİT), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Justice regarding the status of the suspect but the Danish government is unhappy with the lack of information regarding the release.
