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 verdict handed down on Thursday to Kosovo Serb politician Oliver Ivanovic is not final yet and the struggle will continue, says Aleksandar Vucic.
Speaking late on Thursday, the Prime Minister added that the ruling "looks more like political force than law and justice."
Pristina will continue dialogue with Belgrade, but it is not known for now when and at what level, said Kosovo's deputy minister for local government.
Kosovo's Deputy Prime Minister Branimir Stojanovic condemned on Sunday in the strongest terms the desecration of the Christ the Saviour Cathedral in Pristina.
The Serbian Orthodox church was desecrated by a group of protesters during Saturday's opposition riots in Pristina.
Stojanovic said the behaviour was shameful and uncivilized and that it was unacceptable that police watched the protesters who have entered the church, and did nothing.
The United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) voiced concern on Saturday about the violence observed at the protests in Pristina's city center, during which Molotov cocktails, stones and other objects were thrown at the government building and police.
“Such acts by certain individuals have no place in a democratic society and have nothing to do with the legitimate right to peaceful protest expressed by many others,” UNMIK said in a release.
Serbian Labor Minister Aleksandar Vulin wished a happy Christmas to all Orthodox believers from Pec/Peja in Kosovo.
He noted that "unsolved crimes cast a dark shadow over the holiday joy in Kosovo and Metohija," reported Tanjug.
Vulin attended a Christmas liturgy at the Pec Patriarchate and called on the international community to ensure conditions for the displaced to return to Kosovo.
Why new borders are being drawn within Serbia if Europe is uniting by erasing borders between states, Serbian Orthodox Church Patriarch Irinej has asked.
"I am not dealing with politics when I'm saying this but, as the Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church, I am contemplating further consequences of a fragmented Serbia living in a 'united' Europe. This is too serious issue to be dealt by politicians with a limited duration," the Patriarch told Vecernje Novosti daily.
President Tomislav Nikolic late on Sunday spoke for B92 about EU integration, Russia, Kosovo, his relationship with the government and the PM, and other topics.
It is often said that the president is closer to Russia, the government to Brussels, and the prime minister to Berlin - something that Nikolic commented by saying that both he and the government "look towards both Moscow and Brussels."
EU foreign policy Chief Federica Mogherini will invite Aleksandar Vucic and Isa Mustafa to meet in Brussels after New Year's and Christmas holidays.
Belgrade-based daily Vecernje Novosti writes, quoting "EU diplomatic circles".
A new round of the Kosovo dialogue, in Brussels, should be scheduled after the Constitutional Court in Pristina take a decision on the constitutionality of the agreement on the Community/Association of Serbian Municipalities (ZSO).
The ban on entry to Kosovo for persons residing in Kosovo who have Serbian identity cards has been suspended.
Deputy Kosovo Interior Minister Milan Radojevic also said that the police on all crossings between Kosovo and central Serbia have been informed about this.
