Serbian paramilitaries who attacked Kosovo police officers a week ago are said to have previously trained on Serbian territory. Kosovan Prime Minister Albin Kurti announced this in the short message service Platform X (formerly Twitter).
He also posted drone images there to show these exercises. “The attacks (on Kosovar police officers) took place with the full support and planning of the Serbian state,” Kurti wrote.

The Serbian aggressors took the drone images themselves and the Kosovo police seized them along with weapons, Interior Minister Xhelal Svecla said, according to the Kosovo newspaper “Koha Ditore”. The exercises took place at the Serbian military base Kopaonik near the border and in Pasuljanske Livade, one of the largest military training areas in Serbia. In addition, exercises took place on a property belonging to Kosovo Serb politician and businessman Milan Radoicic, who claimed responsibility for the attack on Kosovo police officers.
The new tensions between Serbia and Kosovo were caused by the attack a week ago by a 30-strong, heavily armed Serbian commando group on Kosovo police officers in the town of Banjska near Mitrovica in northern Kosovo. Three Serb attackers and a Kosovo police officer were killed. (sda/dpa)
