Malikovic said that the attack occurred last night around 22:00 CET while Milovanovic and his granddaughter were in a UNHCR tent where they live until their house is restored.

Milovanovic was not injured, and his granddaughter was taken in central Serbia after the attack, said Malikovic and added that Kosovo and EULEX police are investigating the case.

Milovanovic returned to the village of Sainovica in late March with the help of UNHCR and another 12 Serb families.

Sainovica is close to Zac, where Albanians repeatedly stoned Serb returnees over the past days.
