Mayor of Leposavic Zoran Todic on police raid in Mitrovacki dvor and his injuries (RTS)

Serbian national broadcaster, RTS reported Leposavic Mayor, Zoran Todic was in the path of Kosovo police unit during the raid on Monday. “It’s a third day since these unpleasant events. It’s incomprehensible that someone uses so much force and brutality against the legitimately elected representatives who just wanted to talk about everyday problems” Todic added. “A few minutes after the beginning of the meeting”, Todic continued “masked units of Kosovo police force violently raided the premises by throwing shock bombs”. “I was at the front door at that time…I felt a heavy blow with a rifle in the back, two masked police officers threw me on the floor. This was followed by a strong kick with a military boot in the face. It is humiliating that someone steps on your head and hands with muddy boots,” Todic said. He stressed the most important thing is that there were no casualties. “Another event in March, a month that never brought any good to the people in Kosovo” he said. Todić added people are not scared, but they are disturbed.

“We got used to this and to the constant provocations of Pristina. On January 14 last year, units with armored vehicles came, and on July 25, 2011, the crisis arose after the barricades were placed, when ROSU units came” Todic pointed out, RTS reported.
