Attack on KFOR was organized

EULEX has started investigations into last week’s violence where 10 KFOR solders where injured.  Preliminary research indicates that the attack on KFOR was planned and organized. Sources within this mission explained the details of the attack that left ten KFOR soldiers, nine Americans and a German injured.

At about 13:00 hours, a truck headed towards KFOR soldiers, and it did not stop even after the warnings of the soldiers. Then the driver got out of the truck and tried to take the soldier’s weapon. But another soldier shot him. After this, several bombs and shootings came from all sides. “The fighting lasted for hours,” said this source.

Nine of the soldiers were injured by bullets coming from the Serbian protesters side, while one of them was injured with his own weapon. According to these sources, there is sufficient basis to believe that the attack was organized by the group of the well-known businessman Zvonko Veselinovic. The same group opened all the alternative roads surrounding Jarinje, to connect with Serbia. The attack of happened as a response to KFOR’s attempt to close the illegal road constructed by local Serbs to bypass Jarinje. Immediately after the action, a major group of Serbs gathered at the crossing point.
