Three shops were damaged in the explosion. The Kosovo police arrived and began investigating the site. It is still to be determined which type of explosive was used, Regional Chief of Operations at the Kosovo Police Zeljko Bojic told The press. The perpetrators targeted a fast food restaurant. A café and a betting shop were also damaged in a blast. Several days ago, an explosive device was planted on the window of the apartment belonging to Nebojsa Maric in Kosovska Mitrovica who was a candidate for councilor on the electoral list of the Independent Liberal Party. Miletic:Latest attack in Mitrovica politically motivated too Secretary General of the Independent Liberal Party (SLS) Petar Miletic stated on Friday that the bombing attack on the shop owned by Djordje Kostic in northern Mitrovica was politically motivated and aims to intimidate and demotivate those planning to vote in the November 3 elections. Miletic, who also holds office as the deputy speaker in the Kosovo parliament, noted in a release that it is absolutely unacceptable for political differences to be resolved by violence and demanded that the international and local police finally do something to punish those using violence to political ends. Miletic noted that Kostic was attacked just because he is the SLS candidate, and added that Kostic will not withdraw from the list. Miletic said that he informed Kostic that this incident reinforced his belief that he is following the right course. He expressed concern over the elections in northern Kosovo after all the incidents in which candidates were attacked, and noted that this cannot be labelled as a democratic electoral atmosphere.
