Kosovska Kamenica, 21 November: An explosive device planted in a wood stove in
Trajko Peric Primary School in the village of Veliko Ropotovo near Kosovska
Kamenica was activated this morning.
"The device was activated at 0750 [0650 gmt] in a fifth year classroom. There
are no casualties, because a teacher and pupils were in the corridor at the time
of the blast," the school head master, Gojko Ivic, told SRNA. [MN; classes start
at 0800 local time]
He added that the international police had searched the school and launched an
investigation at his request. The afternoon classes [starting at 1400] have been
cancelled.
Two secondary schools are sharing the Trajko Peric Primary School premises, and
a total of 450 Serb students attend the school.
The Kosovosko Pomoravlje education department head, Zivorad Tomic, has told SRNA
that he has asked UNMIK to have a check-point in front of the school and thus
protect students and teachers who were obviously the targets of this morning's
attack.
