Serb house in Kosovo stoned twice

Kosovo police, KPS, who arrived at the scene after the first attack, said they had no information about the second incident, which happened after they left.

The house is owned by Vladimir Radosavljevic, 72, and his wife Bosiljka Radosavljevic, 74, who was alone at home when the first incident took place.

She told Beta news agency that the stones were thrown at the windows so forcefully that they broke through the shutters and landed inside.

Members of KPS, whose station is located near the house, came to the scene after the first attack. After they left, more stones were thrown at the Radosavljevic home.

Vladimir said that he and his wife saw two adults and several boys attacking their house.

But regional KPS spokesman for the Pec region, in the west of the province, Zacir Kelmendi, told Beta that he received information from Klina that "some kids were playing and that a window was accidentally broken".

Meanwhile, Council of Europe (CoE) Commissioner for Human Rights Thomas Hammarberg urged EU member states to stop the forced repatriation of Kosovo citizens, arguing that this only worsens the economic situation.

"Kosovo is not ready to receive a larger scale of people returning from other countries at this stage," Hammarberg said in Kosovo where he wrapped up a three-day visit Saturday. Four of every 10 people in Kosovo are unemployed and the return of former citizens would have enormous impact on the country, the EU official explained.
