In the latest incident, on Sunday night, unknown persons fired shots at the Serb Chamber of Commerce of Kosovo and Metohija located in a multi-ethnic community in northern Kosovska Mitrovica.
Chamber General Secretary Slavisa Stanic told the Tanjug news agency that there was only one security guard in the building at the time of the late night attack and that he was not injured.
"One window of the main door was broken, and another window has a bullet hole in it," he said.
Stanic added that Kosovo police, KPS, officials have completed an investigation and that he does not know what the motive of the attack was.
The Chamber of Commerce building has been located in the multi-ethnic Kosovska Mitrovica community of Bosnjacka Mahala for three years.
The community itself has ethnic Albanian and Bosnia residents and is located in the northern, predominantly Serb part of the ethnically divided town.
Stanic said that this is the first time that "someone has had a problem with it."
This is the third incident reported in Kosovska Mitrovica in the last several days.
A bomb was thrown at a vehicle of the Serbian Education Ministry in Kosovska Mitrovica two days ago. A bomb was also thrown into the backyard of a family home located in another multi-ethnic Kosovska Mitrovica community.
Police have made no arrests in either of the incidents
