Citing unidentified sources, Kosovapress reports that Igor Shulyatchenko, deputy chief of the Russian Office in Pristina, was involved in a recent car accident in northern Kosovo. The incident happened on April 18 around 21:30 hours on the Mitrovica-Leposavic road. The same sources claimed that Shulyatchenko was driving drunk on a vehicle with diplomatic plates when he hit a biker. “The victim is a 30 year-old and he was treated in the Mitrovica North hospital. The police have meanwhile tried to minimize the whole case,” sources said. According to the sources, the Russian diplomat refused to cooperate with police on the site. A police spokesman confirmed the incident but did not disclose the identity of the driver. “When a vehicle with diplomatic plates is involved in an accident, the persons inside the vehicle have diplomatic immunity and police has limited options. The case has been reported and we have carried out all necessary procedures. We have also notified the [Russian] Consulate,” the police spokesman said.
