Van transporting Serbs from Suvi Do to Mitrovica North stoned (Radio KIM, BETA, TV Most)  

On Saturday night at Mađer settlement, a group of Albanian young men stoned a van transporting Serbs from Suvi Do village to Mitrovica North, TV Most reported. TV Most added no one was injured, because passengers had seen young men with stones on time, however, there were children in the van who got scared. Eyewitnesses told TV Most this is the tenth attack on Serbs traveling from Suvi Do village to Mitrovica North in one month’s time. Vice President of Serbian List Igor Simic and President of Mitrovica Interim Municipal Council Aleksandar Spiric have visited the residents of Suvi Do on Sunday and promised that that they would ensure their safety. “This is the most exposed point of this part of Mitrovica and local Serbs are often targeted by Albanian extremists, and whenever tensions rise, some Albanian individuals think this is a signal to solve an open problem between Serbs and Albanians by using violence,” Simic said. He also appealed to the residents to continue showing restraint and not to fall for provocations. President of Mitrovica Interim Municipal Council Aleksandar Spiric opined that the situation was not good and Serbs were at risk and expressed hope that the perpetrators would be uncovered and punished.
