Director of Human Centre Mitrovica NGO, Veroljub Petronic told Radio Kontakt that the latest events in Staro Gracko are only one of the few security risks that contribute to the worsening of the overall security situation in Kosovo. He says in an interview with the radio that event in Staro Gracko last night was just one of the “small corps of security risks that contribute to the destabilization of the security situation in Kosovo”.

The party of the assassinated Kosovo Serb leader Oliver Ivanovic, the Civic Initiative SDP, urged today all investigative services and especially the EULEX, to intensify the probe into the January 16 murder.

KFOR Commander General Salvatore Cuocci says that this peacekeeping mission will remain in Kosovo as long as needed, and that NATO currently does not plan to reduce the presence of international peacekeeping forces in Kosovo. Speaking about the action of Marko Djuric's arrest and attacks on journalists in North Mitrovica, Cuocci says that KFOR does not interfere with political or legal issues, national broadcaster RTS reports quoting daily Jedinstvo based in North Mitrovica.

Leader of Serb European Movement and a former member of the Kosovo Assembly, Rada Trajkovic said last night in Kraljevo not a single murder in the north of Kosovo has been resolved and that the north of Kosovo is run by the mafia, Blic daily reported.

Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Enver Hoxhaj claims that Belgrade refuses to cooperate with Pristina regarding Oliver Ivanovic’s murder and that responses to the murder are hidden in Belgrade, Serbian media reported.

The first associate of Oliver Ivanovic, Ksenija Bozovic, says the GI SDP leader, who was shot and killed on January 16, was being followed.

Bozovic also told Budimir Nikic during the Slobodno Srpski program that the entire investigation process is being "watered down."

The website KoSSev is reporting that Bozovic stressed she had given her statement about the murder twice, while only one unofficial call came from the prosecution in Belgrade, which is also conducting an investigation.

Pristina Special Prosecution took over the investigation of Oliver Ivanovic murder in March, and one of the prosecutors in this case Syle Hoxha said there are no suspects identified, adding that “gathering of evidence is still underway,” KIM Radio reported.
