The non-governmental organizations dealing with the issue of minorities in Kosovo (ECMI), four days after the shooting at the Serbian houses in the village of Gorazdevac, today has released a press release.

"The renewed incident in Gorazdevac can no longer be discarded as one in a row of merely isolated incidents. This is a trend of increased intensity that has a negative influence on the security of the Serb community, which is a crucial prerequisite for their integration process in Kosovo. This pattern should be dealt with in the short term (by increasing security measures and acting against those responsible, as well as increasing the number of Kosovo Serb police officers in Serb-majority communities), but also in a more structural way by increasing the trust and reducing the ethnic distance between Albanian and Serbian communities in Kosovo, including at a political level," reads the press release.
