Molotov cocktails in KM, Serb-owned car set on fire

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA -- The former town hall building in North Kosovska Mitrovica, where are now civil protection premises, came under attack twice on Sunday evening.

Unknown perpetrators first threw three Molotov cocktails at around 19:00 CET in front of a civil protection vehicle that was parked outside the former town hall building, and then stoned it at around 22:30, said eyewitnesses.

No one was injured and no damage was made in the attacks.

According to eyewitnesses, a group of four-five young men came from the southern, Albanian part of Kosovska Mitrovica across the pontoon bridge, which is located across the street from the civil protection building.

The incident took place in front of the very eyes of a Kosovo police patrol which did not manage to catch perpetrators, eyewitnesses said.

As for the second attack, according to security guards that were in the civil protection building at that time, three young men hurled stones at the building, and then ran away.

A Kosovo police patrol was on watch in the street where the incidents took place, and there were two EULEX vehicles there too.

The daily Večernje Novosti writes today that unknown attackers set on fire a car owned by the Nojić family in the town of Gnilan.

The Nojićs are Serb returnees who said that they "did not wish to report the incident to the police because they did not believe the perpetrators will be found," but are determined not to once again leave their home despite all the incidents.

A month ago the windshield on their car was smashed, and the perpetrator has not been found yet.
