Text of report by Serbian independent news agency FoNet

Kosovska Mitrovica, 3 August: The head of Kosovsko-Pomoravlje County, Milorad Todorovic, today told FoNet that an explosive device had been planted outside the house of Milivoje Nisic in the Cernica village near Gnjilane in the night between 29 and 30 July.

The device did not go off, because Nisic's wife Jasminka promptly reported the incident to the Kosovo Protection Corps [TMK in Albanian] which removed the device.

Of more than 700 Serbs who lived in Cernica before the arrival of Kfor [NATO-led Kosovo Force], there are around 160 of them remaining. Around 2,000 Albanians live in the village.
