Petkovic: Pristina is trying to save a member of so-called KSF who shot Serb children in Gotovusa
The attempted murder was characterized as, "causing general danger with the use of weapons"
The director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petkovic, said today that a lawyer hired by the Office has submitted a request that the attempted murder of Serb children in Gotovusa on Orthodox Christmas Eve be reclassified as attempted aggravated murder, as well as that the epilogue will be known at a new hearing scheduled for March 16, and that international representatives will be informed about the whole case.

Petkovic wrote on Twitter that the lawyer decided to do this because the prosecutor from Urosevac qualified the attempted murder of Stefan and Milos Stojanovic in Gotovusa as "the causing general danger with the use of weapons" - as if, according to Petkovic, member of the so-called KSF ("Kosovo Security Force") Azem Kurtaj was shooting in the air, inszead of seriously injuring Stefan and Milos, reports Tanjug.
"It is concerning that for the act defined like this, in practice, there is no effective prison sentence, but a suspended sentence with a fine. Pristina's intention to save a member of the KSF from prison is obvious, even though this is a man who shot Serb children while they were carrying a badnjak branch (part of Serbian Christmas traditions), with the intent to kill them," Perkovic wrote.
