More than 30 members of the ROSU unit in full gear raided Strpce early this morning with the aim of once again intimidating and harassing Serbs in this municipality, the Office for Kosovo and Metohija has nounced.

ROSU members were deployed in several locations, they blocked the entire municipality, burst into the elementary school Sarski Oded in Brezovica, the post office in the village of Drajkovce, the building of the Provisional Authority from where they took all the documentation and computers, the TV Herc building - the only Serbian-language television station in Strpce - they were climbing street poles to remove surveillance cameras that have not been working for several years, according to the Office.

"They once again chose to carry out an incursion in Strpce on a big (Serbian Orthodox) holiday, considering that today is the village's patron saint day and a big fair is organized when a large number of locals gather, and they did the same during previous raids in this Serb area," the Office announced.

They added athat lthough the units from Pristina know very well that the cameras, which were legally installed almost ten years ago, have not been in operation for a long time, and they checked this on several occasions in the previous days, "it served them as an excuse to carry out an incursion in Strpce again, they are harassing people who cannot live normally."

"With what justification are ROSU special forces raiding a Serb elementary school in Strpce? There is no doubt this is a new attack and pressure on Serbs to leave their homes because there is no justified reason for another ROSU operation in this Serb area," the Office for Kosovo and Metohija announced, RTS reported.
