Kosovska Vitina, 23 January: The Kosovo Police Service [KPS] spokesman in
Gnjilane, Naser Ibrahimi, told FoNet today that an incident had occurred at a
playground in the village of Mogila last Sunday [22 January], which had left a
17-year-old Serb boy injured.
Ibrahimi said that a conflict between young men of Albanian and Serb nationality
had occurred at the playground, and that a young Serb man had been slightly
injured.
Police have detained five young men, taken their statements and handed them over
to an investigative judge.
Serbs living in Mogila have specified that a big group of Albanians attacked two
young Serb men in the St Theodore church back yard, where these had gone to make
a phone call, since the signal for mobile phones is best there.
Villagers said that Bojan Djuzic (17) and Dejan Nojkic (18) had been beaten up.
