Kossev porta reports that a visit of the director of the KiM Office, Marko Djuric, has been announced for today. Djuric previously himself announced to the Serbian media the opening of the water supply system in the North Kosovo.
Kossev reports as the latest news that Djuric is in Zubin Potok.
In northern Mitrovica, Zvecan, Zubin Potok and Leposavic, sessions were held yesterday where the elected mayors of these municipalities officially started their mandate after winning the 19 May elections.
Oaths were laid by mayors Goran Rakic, Vucina Jankovic, Srdjan Vulovic and Zoran Todic.
KFOR spokesman Colonel Vincenzo Grasso told Belgrade daily Politika that the Kosovo police special unit ROSU intervened after shots were fired at police officers in the north of Kosovo.
“Shots were fired at the regular police after the road to Zubin Potok was blocked and a police officer was wounded. Opening fire at the police and obstructing their operations is against the law. The intervention by the Kosovo police special unit was just a reaction to that violent behaviour,” Grasso said.
President of the Centre for Foreign Policy Dragan Djukanovic told Serbian state television (RTS) that the most important thing is to create the conditions for continuation of the dialogue that should result in final signing of an agreement on full normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina.
Djukanovic said in the RTS morning news that the UNMIK announcement came with a delay, and it indicated that UNMIK did not have the same kind of data as the Kosovo police.
One of the lawyers of the arrested Serbs Ljubomir Pantovic told TV Prva that 31 persons have been arrested in the action of ROSU, but that there is a possibility of new arrests, reported Kontakt plus radio, quoting Belgrade based TV Prva.
As Pantovic said, there are reports that two more people voluntarily reported to the Kosovo Police Inspectorate.
''The information presented by the Kosovo Police in its own latest press release is not at all in line with our information on the events, and no concrete evidence has so far been shared with the United Nations by relevant Kosovo police and other Kosovo authorities,'' replied UNMIK to Kossev portal's question on the Zubin Potok events.
Public broadcaster RTS reported that the Zubin Potok municipality started to make an assessment of damages made during the action of Kosovo special police ROSU units in this municipality on Wednesday.
“We will file lawsuits against them to all possible legal and judicial bodies. We will use the legal tools, hire lawyers, because it is simply unimaginable that we do nothing regarding so many mistreatments and endangerment of the Serbs in Zubin Potok,” mayor Srdjan Vulovic told RTS.
RTS also brings testimonies of the people affected and injured during the ROSU action.
Kosovo police has arrested a Serb female border police officer B.T. from the village of Velji Breg in Zubin Potok municipality, Tanjug news agency reported.
She was arrested by regular police from the south. She was arrested in the premises of the Red Cross and Centre for Sports Development located at Gazivode lake, while visiting her son who works there.
All six Serbs detained by Kosovo police special forces on Tuesday in Zubin Potok have been were released Radio Kontakt Plus reported.
According to this, they were set free after the judge of the Basic Court in Mitrovica North, the Zubin Potok department, Ljiljana Stevanovic, refused the request of the Kosovo Prosecutor's Office to order custody. Radio Kontakt Plus said that the judge assessed that there was insufficient evidence from the prosecution to extend the detention of the Serbs, which were otherwise accused of interfering with an on duty official.
KFOR spokesman Vincenzo Grasso says that yesterday's action of the Kosovo special police units was regular, and that in fact the biggest threat to peace are politicians and the media.
Asked about the situation in Kosovo this morning, Grasso says it is under control.
"Yesterday there was little tension, but luckily it was in isolated locations and it was completed during the day, so I have to say that it is peaceful," he said, during the inclusion in the morning program of Belgrade based TV Prva.
