Belosevic told The press that no Serb was injured in the incident, but considerable material damage was inflicted to the bus. After the incident, the displaced Serbs who wished to attend the Christmas Eve ceremony in their homeland were escorted back by the Kosovo police to the Visoki Decani Monastery. The displaced Serbs arrived in front of the Djakovica church where Albanian protesters stood gathered, Belosevic said. “Several windows on the bus were broken and Serbs had to return to the Visoki Decani Monastery,” Belosevic said. Serbian Minister without Portfolio in charge of Kosovo Aleksandar Vulin was supposed to visit Djakovica on Monday as well, but the Kosovo police did not approve his visit and stay in Djakovica on Christmas Day and Eve, and they only let him visit Kosovska Mitrovica, Pec and Gracanica. The Kosovo Interior Ministry announced earlier today that Kosovo Interior Minister Bajram Redzepi decided to ban Vulin's visit to Djakovica on January 3.
