Safety in Kosovo-Metohija deteriorates
Belgrade,
20 February 2010
State Secretary of the Ministry for Kosovo-Metohija Oliver Ivanovic said today that the general safety in Kosovo-Metohija has deteriorated significantly after attack on Serb Ljubisa Stepanovic.
Ivanovic told Tanjug news agency that the Serb who was attacked is a returnee to the village of Zac, to which five Serbian families have come back. He said that their land have been cultivated by Kosovo Albanians from 1999 until today.
A few more families announced their return to the village, however, the villages of Zac and Srbobran have not had electricity since yesterday and they are still paying the bills. All that, together with this incident is creating a very tense atmosphere, Ivanovic said.
He said that he will call Kfor commander to talk about this incident since Kfor is the only force in the province that is respected by both sides.
The State Secretary for Kosovo-Metohija warned that the reduction of Kfor troops in such circumstances is completely wrong, of which Serbian authorities have already warned NATO representatives.
