Most of the media carry today the opinion piece of the Minister of European Integration of Kosovo, Bekim Collaku. He initially explains that the German word “Wanderlust” – roughly translates into “a desire or longing for travelling”.
Former Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs' (MUP) employees in Kosovo, who are requesting solution to their employment and legal status in line with the Serbian Constitution and laws and who are not satisfied with the dynamic of the address of their demands, have announced launching of protests and hunger strike today in Mitrovica North in front of the Serbian Government’s Office for Kosovo and Metohija. Representative of the employees Rajko Sekularac said to Kontakt Plus Radio that protest will last until all requests are fulfilled.
New Party of Kosovo (NPK) strongly protested because Kosovo Police is not reacting on violation of human rights in Kosovo, communicated this party through a press release.
NPK further stated that it is not the first time that shots are fired on Serbs with the goal to intimidate them and that memorials are destroyed. NPK also requested that perpetrators should be brought to justice.
Students office in Mitrovica North yesterday launched an action on social networks dubbed “Je suis Goraždevac” (I am Goraždevac) , in connection with the latest incidents in that Serbian village.
At the request of Politika to respond to Tuesday's attack in Gorazdevac, the German Foreign Ministry condemned the incident.
''Kosovo police has already launched an investigation. We call on the police authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and bring the perpetrators to justice,'' said the German MFA.

Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) Kosovo strongly condemns the recent armed attack on the village of Gorazhdevc/Goraždevac in the municipality of Peja/Peć. HLC Kosovo recalls that, in the past, attacks against local Serbs in this region almost never led to appropriate police investigations. The recurrent failure to arrest perpetrators of these crimes creates a climate of insecurity for Serb citizens of this village and of Kosovo at large, and has a negative impact on the establishment of civic trust in Kosovo institutions.
Albanians should take responsibility for the security of Serbs and they should stop looking for excuses for the perpetrators that have not been found, said yesterday Deputy Kosovo Prime Minister Branimir Stojanovic.
Stojanovic told the RTS that the atmosphere is such that many radical elements want to raise the temperature to the boiling point.
Then, according to him, the most vulnerable people suffer who live in remote settlements, far away from the Serbian municipalities.
