KFOR representatives told the Pristina daily Koha Ditore that shots were fired in the area of Zubin Potok in northern Kosovo on Sunday, but that there were no injuries or any material damage caused.

We can confirm that a KFOR patrol, while on duty in the vicinity of Zubin Potok, heard and saw several gunshots nearby. There were no injuries and there was no material damage. We are now checking the facts and will release more details at a later time, said KFOR, Koha Ditore reported.

Leader of the Belgrade-backed Serb List Goran Rakic rebutted the Pristina media reports that the Kosovo Serbs had opened fire on KFOR troops near Zubin Potok.

“According to our information on the ground there was no attack on KFOR. Serbs in the north respect KFOR members who are there in line with Resolution 1244,” Rakic told Pink TV, adding that this was yet another piece of disinformation spread by Pristina.

The pro-government media in Belgrade reported Sunday evening that shots were heard in Zubin Potok, with some saying that there was an exchange of fire between the local Serbs and the Kosovo Police.

The Kosovo Police said on its official Facebook account that it did not take part in any exchange of fire in Zubin Potok.

“In connection with the many questions addressed to the Kosovo Police regarding whether it was attacked in Zubin Potok and whether there was an exchange of fire between the police and criminal groups, we inform you that there have been no attacks on the police, nor any exchange of fire between the Kosovo police and any group,” the Kosovo Police wrote on Facebook.

Earlier on Sunday evening, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic met with Prime Minister Ana Brnabic and the country’s military leadership. After the meeting, Serbian Armed Forces Chief of the General Staff General Milan Mojsilovic, immediately left for the town of Raska, near the border with Kosovo.

“The tasks given to the Serbian Armed Forces are precise and clear and will be fully implemented,” Mojsilovic told Pink TV, adding that the situation is such that it requires the presence of the military along the administrative border with Kosovo, but that he was unable to disclose any details regarding the Sunday events in Zubin Potok.
