The Kosovo and Metohija Office announced that in the village of Grabac in the municipality of Klina, around 15 Serbian returnees’ houses were broken into and condemned the attempt to jeopardize the security of Serbs, reports regional broadcaster N1.

The office condemned the attacks and called on the international community “not to turn blind eye to the fact that the Serb people in Kosovo daily are the target of the extremists, that are disguised as burglars and sow fear in enclaves south of the Ibar, stealing cattle and breaking into houses.”
The statement adds that the constant attacks on Serbian property are proof of the complete absence of the rule of law, the failure to meet democratic standards and the failure of international organizations in Kosovo.
“We also use this opportunity to warn the extremists in Kosovo and Metohija once again that Serbia will never allow a systematic threat to the human rights and security of the Serbian people in the province,” the statement said, reports N1.
