Gun-toting Serb politician shouts "This is Kosovo"

Kosovo police chief in northern Kosovo Zeljko Bajic told Serbia's state broadcaster RTS late on Sunday that Jablanovic was arrested at around 20:15 hours CET that evening, and that the police found the pistol he used to threaten the activists.

Jablanovic was then questioned at the police station in Leposavic.

The Serbian Government's Office for Kosovo condemned the incident in the strongest terms, describing it as "thuggish."

The Office appealed on all citizens of Serbia in Kosovo and Metohija not to fall for provocations staged by politicians who are "Pristina's candidates," who wish to cause "confusion among the Serb people in our southern province."

The Office also said that Jablanovic was "clearly aware that his political flirting with Albanian parties will be punished by the voters in the elections, and now that he has nothing to lose, he is trying to delegitimize the electoral process."

Serb List President Slavko Simic said last night that Jablanovic - who was in the past a member of the Kosovo government, and is now the leader of the Party of Kosovo Serbs - got arrested after he used a cocked gun to threaten the List's activists.

"Jablanovic pointed his gun at one of our activists and started shouting, 'This is Kosovo, this is not Serbia, remove the posters if you don't want me to kill you'," Simic told Tanjug.

A police patrol then came along and tried to arrest Jablanovic, but he started running; however, the police caught up with him and arrested him.
