Attacks leave two injured in Kosovo
KOSOVSKA MITROVICA – Dejan Maksimovic and Branislav
Antovic where injured in two armed attacks in Kosovska
Mitrovica late last night.
An unidentified shooter fired through the window the
Maksimovic family home and wounded Dejan Maksimovic’s
leg. The attacker fled from the scene and no one else
was injured.
In the second incident, Branislav Antovic was shot
several times while working the overnight security
shift at the Vodovod Ibar public parking grounds, and
was taken to the Kosovska Mitrovica Hospital where
doctors operated on him last night. Maksimovic is
receiving treatment at the hospital as well.
“Antovic was shot twice in the stomach, several of his
internal organs were damaged and he was bleeding
heavily. A four hour operation was done and he is
currently is stable but critical condition. Dejan
Maksimovic was shot in the shin. The injuries are
serious, but he is stable.” Milan Ivanovic, deputy
director of the Kosovska Mitrovica Hospital, said.
Maksimovic told Beta that the attacker shot at him
from the terrace of his own apartment. He said that he
was watching television in the room in which his
parents were sleeping.
“I heard steps and sounds coming from the terrace and
went out to see what it was. I saw a silhouette of a
person holding something in their hands. I could not
see anything in the dark. I then went back towards the
room and heard the shots.” Maksimovic said.
The police have yet to give a statement regarding the
attacks and investigations are ongoing.
Violence “will not be tolerated”
US Office Chief in Pristina, Philip Goldberg, said
that disorder or violence in any form will not be
tolerated in Kosovo.
“We are clear in the principles which the Contact
Group has introduced when Kosovo is in question, and
NATO, along with the international and Kosovo police
forces, will do everything to prevent any eventual
violence in Kosovo.” Goldberg said, adding that
“Absolute security cannot be guaranteed in the US,
much less in Kosovo.”
A message to the Serbs
Goran Bogdanovic, member of Belgrade’s Kosovo status
discussion team, has condemned the attacks and said
that they represent a message that Serbs are not
wanted in this Kosovo city.
“I am not going to prejudge who could be responsible
for the attacks while the police and institutions have
yet to make any official statements, but there are
many indications as to where the attacks could be
coming from. We know who has pointed fingers at
Kosovska Mitrovica thus far. We know who has, on
several occasions, tried to cross into northern
Kosovska Mitrovica from the southern region, and last
night’s attack is just another attempt to try and
destabilize the only larger city in Kosovo where there
are still Serbs living and has remained multi-ethnic.”
Bogdanovic said, keeping his statement ambiguous.
He said that last night’s attacks, other more recent
attacks on Serbs in Strpac, the turning off of
electricity going to Serbian villages in Kosovo, all
have one goal in mind; to demoralize the Serbian
community and get them thinking about leaving,
coincidentally, at the same time that discussions for
the future status of Kosovo are set to begin.

RIA Novosti: Kosovska Mitrovica Saw Another Act of Violence against
Serbs
Belgrade - A rally will be held Tuesday in the
northern region of Kosovska Mitrovica inhabited by
Serbs in Kosovo, in protest against the armed assault
on two citizens of Serbian nationality, RIA Novosti
reports.
The rally will be called under the motto ‘Against
Albanian terror and violence on Serbs’.
The occasion that has led to the calling of the
protest is the assault against two Serbs – Dejan
Maksimovic and Branislav Antonovic by unknown
attackers, as a result of which both of them have been
left with heavy gunfire wounds.
After a surgical intervention the condition of one of
the victims remains endangered.
The local police are investigating the case.
