21 KFOR troops were hurt in an attempt to remove a barricade in the village of Dudin Krs near Zvecan on Thursday morning, KFOR Spokesman Uwe Nowitzki says. He stressed that two soldiers had sustained serious injuries. "21 KFOR soldiers injured at barricade" The KFOR spokesman said that the last night’s attempt to remove the barricade was in complete accordance with KFOR’s jurisdiction to provide safety and freedom of movement. Information about the number of injured Serbs is still not precise but many citizens sought medical attention due to tear gas exposure and injuries. Zvecan Mayor Dragisa Milovic has accused KFOR of not respecting the agreement with Serbs in northern Kosovo. “That was confirmed last night when Hungarian and Portuguese KFOR members went to forcibly remove the barricade near Dudin Krs,” he pointed out. Milovic stated that it had been agreed at a regular meeting with KFOR on Wednesday that there would be no unilateral actions. “They do not respect things we agree on with KFOR commander and it was not necessary to remove the barricade by force when they can move freely,” he stressed, adding that this was just another provocation. According to him, it is fortunate that no citizens were seriously injured in KFOR’s attempt to remove the barricade. “Citizens have once again showed they are determined and persistent not to allow the barricades to be removed until the problems, because of which they were set up, are solved,” the Zvecan mayor stressed. He once again repeated that the northern Kosovo residents had been exposed to several-hour long electricity outages and added that this was one more pressure exerted on Serbs. According to him, the northern Kosovo Serbs are facing a difficult winter when it comes to security and freedom of movement and more frequent and longer power outages. KFOR troops withdrew around 01:30 CET from the barricade in the village of Dudin Krs, which they tried to remove late on Wednesday. The Serbs additionally reinforced the barricade with new amounts of gravel last night. (Tanjug)
