Abbot of Visoki Decani Monastery, Father Sava Janjic, believes that the security, political and economic situation in Kosovo is extremely unstable. An additional element of instability is the rising Islamic fundamentalism, which poses a threat to all inhabitants of Kosovo. "I think that regional cooperation on all safety measures is very important to minimizing risk. Premises that are particularly sensitive, should be better protected," said Father Sava.

Director of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo Marko Djuric said that the incident at Visoki Decani monastery is a warning and reminder that Kosovo institutions must tackle the causes of religious extremism. "This incident reveals the need for Kosovo institutions and politicians in Pristina to address the social causes of religious extremism which threaten the future of all people living in Kosovo, instead of dealing with the non-existent threat in the form of the Association / Community of Serb Municipalities," said Djuric.

Local hospital informed Tanjug that a young Serb man was seriously wounded in a shooting late Sunday in Kosovska Mitrovica. Another 21-year old man sustained minor injuries, the agency said. Health Center Director Milan Ivanovic told Tanjug that the seriously wounded man, S.C., has undergone an operation after being shot in the chest and the abdomen.

The government of Kosovo issued today a press release to refute recent reporting of some media based on the announcements of NGO “Kosovo Center for Security Studies”, that the military radar in Kopaonik mountain, bombed by NATO forces in 1999 has been reactivated.  “The government of Kosovo has communicated officially with KFOR and received official confirmation on the issue. KFOR within its competencies commences regular inspections of the location of the demolished radar, to verify its condition.

The KFOR Commander, Major General Guglielmo Luigi Miglietta, met yesterday Vucina Jankovic, Mayor of Zvecan/Zveqan.

General Miglietta and Mayor of Zvecan/Zveqan discussed the current situation in Kosovo with specific focus on the North.

The NATO commanders in Naples and in Kosovo, Mark Ferguson and Guglielmo Luigi Miglieatta, discussed the security situation with Head of UNMIK Zahir Tanin and Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Branimir Stojanovic.

This meeting was held after the attacks on Serbs in Gorazdevac, Srbobran and Gojbulja.

Bishop of Raska and Prizren Teodosije, strongly condemned terrorist attack on the Serb village Gorazdevac, adding that it shows that the security situation in Kosovo is getting out of control of the local institutions that are unable to provide security to citizens.

Air Traffic Control of Serbia and Montenegro will take all legal steps to regain full control of airspace over Kosovo, because it meets all the technical, organizational, personnel requirements, said director of flight control of Serbia and Montenegro (SMATSA), Radojica Rovčanin. This sensitive issue is discussed with KFOR, who since 1999 controls the airspace, said Rovčanin adding that it would be natural that the job will be returned to SMATSA.

The news site reports that Vetevendosje MP Albin Kurti, who was arrested by Kosovo Police on Saturday, has sent a second letter from the High-Security Prison. In his letter Kurti argues that the Association/Community of Serb-majority municipalities is the next and decisive stage of ruining the state of Kosovo. “The Association is a natural result of the Kosovo Government’s approach. What is the value of Kosovo’s independence if it will be followed by a model similar to that of Bosnia? This government must be stopped.

Publicist Enver Robelli writes in his opinion piece about the signing of the agreement between NATO and the Serbian Army on the full relaxation of the air safety zone and the presence of Serbian Army commander Ljubisa Dikovic in Pristina on this occasion. Robelli argues that allowing Dikovic to come to Pristina was ridiculing with the victims of the war. “There is sufficient evidence that Dikovic was involved in the massacres of civilians in Kosovo. The decision made by KFOR was scandalous, to say the least.
