Windows broken on stores owned by Serbs in Bosnjacka Mahala, in northern Kosovo and Metohija

At least four store windows in Bosnjacka Mahala, whose owners are Serbs, were smashed during last night by unknown perpetrators.

As one of them, who owns the TV repair shop Elektoservis, said, he was informed by an Albanian neighbor that the windows on his store were broken, reports Kosovo-online.com.

"I'm sorry that I was the first to see it this this morning and that I had to tell him this news," said the neighbor who did not want to appear on camera, as well as the owner, who said that nothing was stolen.

Four stores were damaged, and as Telegraf.rs has learned, the TV repair shop was completely demolished. Windows and doors on two taverns were smashed, the fourth establishment that was attacked was not in use, but it is also owned by Serbs.

Only 50 meters from the place where this happened were police officers who were recently deployed from the south to the north of Kosovo.

Northern Kosovska Mitrovica is currently calm, a KFOR helicopter is circling over the city, and EULEX patrols are in the streets.

The Office for Kosovo and Metohija reacted to the incidents to say those are the work of insidious extremists, having taken place effectively in front of the international presence, thus confirming the intentions and the true nature of Kurti's regime in the most obvious way.

"It is now clear with what intention and reason the Kosovo police ared with rifles was sent to the mixed Serb areas of Kosovo and Metohija. International Day Against Fascism and Antisemitism is marked around the world in memory of a tragedy that began precisely with the smashing of store windows, and this is unequivocal confirmation that Kurti's ideology and practice is fascism in its most bare form.

Experience teaches us that violence against communities and peoples begins precisely with attacks on their property, and that is why it is necessary that UNMIK and KFOR urgently protect Serbs and their property in Kosovo and Metohija, because history does not forgive indifference in such situations," said a statement.

It added that Kurti's extremists won't even let Serbs celebrate today's St. Nicholas patron saint day (slava) in peace, while every day he and his thugs in police uniforms are moving us further away from a peaceful solution to the situation in the north of the province.

"Kurti obviously hopes to, by creating an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty, discourage Serbs in the north of Kosovo and Metohija and dull their determination to persevere in the just fight for their rights, but the Serb people have endured worse atrocities and defeated bigger bullies than him, and they will win this time as well," said the statement.
