Belgrade-plates car driver held over suspected explosives

PRIŠTINA -- The Kosovo police after midnight on Friday removed suspected explosives from a Belgrade-license plates Renault Clio car in Pristina.

They also arrested the driver.

"The substance that is suspected to be explosives was taken and sent for expert analysis, while the arrested person is being questioned," police spokesman Bakir Kelani said.

The car was stopped at around 22:00 CET yesterday near the U.S. embassy in the Dragodan settlement, where most diplomatic missions are located, because it was suspected to carry explosives.

Tanjug quoted Kelani as saying that "a Serb resident" was arrested, and that the car was stopped because the police "had previous information" and thus "managed to stop the vehicle and arrest the driver."
