Medic told Tanjug that due to the latest incidents and crimes the KPS has stepped up security measures in northern Kosovska Mitrovica.
He said that the measures include tighter control of vehicles and people especially at night.
The police have increased their presence in multiethnic zones of the town such as the Bosnjacka mahala and Tri solitera neighborhoods, Medic said.
Medic said that the increased security measures will be in effect until further notice.
More than 20 serious incidents have been recorded in northern Kosovo in the last two months, which the police qualified as endangering of public safety.
Attackers often used explosives, hand grenades and various types of firearms.
Several such crimes have taken place in the last week in northern Kosovska Mitrovica. The most serious incident happened on February 4 when a bomb was thrown at a house of the Vucetic family in the Bosnjacka mahala neighborhood, leaving two children injured.
The perpetrators of these incidents have not been arrested yet.
