Pristina, 24 April: Two more Serbian homes were attacked over the weekend in Kosovo.

Yesterday afternoon, a group of young Albanians shattered the windows of Milovan Bozovic's home in the northern part of Kosovska Mitrovica. Living in the home is a refugee from Prizren, Miroslava Repic. Later in the day, rocks were thrown at a vehicle belonging to a Serb in Suvi Do, an attack confirmed by the Kosovo police. The Kosovo Police Service said that other than material damage, there were no other consequences of these attacks.

Yesterday morning, a group of unidentified, armed attackers shot at the home of Danilo Dzolic in the Kosovo village of Tucep, near Istok.

Dzolic's wife was in the home at the time, but did not sustain any injuries. The house did suffer material damage, however. Serbian sources from the village said that the attackers were most likely looking to steal Dzolic's tractor, because at least four tractors have been stolen from the village recently.

Tucep villagers scared the attackers away by firing shots from their hunting guns, which were confiscated later on by the KPS [Kosovo Police Service] and Kfor [NATO-led Kosovo peacekeeping force] during the investigation. Many people in the village say that they are afraid that the attacks on their village will continue.
