Body of drowned man pulled from Ibar River, north Kosovo

ZVECAN - The body of a drowned man, believed to be a 17-year-old Kosovo Albanian, was recovered from the Ibar River near the village of Grabovac in the municipality of Zvecan in northern Kosovo-Metohija on Tuesday.

Kosovo Police Regional Operations Chief Zeljko Bojic told Tanjug that the body was found by a water rescue dive team on Tuesday.

Besides Kosovo police, KFOR and forensic medicine teams are also at the site.

"The body will probably be transferred to Pristina for an autopsy," he said.

This is believed to be the body of S. Aljusi, 17, who went missing around 20 days ago in northern Kosovska Mitrovica while trying to escape after an attempted robbery.
