A car owned by a Serb, a member of the Kosovo police, was damaged in a blast in Leposavic.
Nobody was injured in the incidents, Kosovo police deputy regional director Ergin Medic told .
All members of Jakovljevic's family were inside the house when a hand grenade was thrown into the yard around 23:00 CET.
A vehicle that was parked in the yard suffered minor damage and windows on a nearby house were broken.
Kosovo police came to the scene and secured the blast site last night and the investigation will be done today.
A motive for the attack is still unknown.
Medic added that a bomb was thrown into the yard of Kosovo police member Radovan Jovanovic a little after midnight.
Kosovska Mitrovica District Head Radenko Nedeljkovic has condemned the attacks and requested "from security institutions in the province to find and punish the perpetrators."
"Throwing of explosive devices in Zvecan and Leposavic, which caused significant material damage, represents a vandal and cowardly act that confirms alleged claims of Pristina and a part of the international community that lawlessness and crime rule in northern Kosovo "
"It is high time for security institutions, KFOR, EULEX and KPS to stop implementing Pristina's unilateral decisions and start doing the work that is under their jurisdiction," Nedeljkovic pointed out.
He expressed hope that the two incidents would not be forgotten like previous crimes against Serbs and other non-Albanians.
