A 24-year-old Serb, Vasko Arsic, was shot in the foot in the village of Donja Budriga in Gnjilane last night, but is in stable condition. The on-duty surgeon at Gracanica hospital, Miodrag Stanisic, said that the bullet was lodged in Arsic’s foot and added that the young man would be operated on. Arsic told B92 he felt well and did not know where the bullet had come from. Kosovo: Stray bullets and beatings “I was with a friend, we left the house and in front of the gate at my house a stray bullet hit me in the foot. We didn’t even hear shooting, it happened all at once, my friend and I didn’t know how. They are supposed to be taking the bullet out of my foot today,” he said. Kosovo police spokesman Ismet Hashani said that an investigation was ongoing, but that the injury had been caused by a stray bullet by the looks of things. Meanwhile, another incident is reported to have occurred in the village of Brod, near Strpce, where an Albanian flag was hoisted above a Serb Orthodox church. Police have since removed the flag. The day prior to Kosovo independence celebrations, police arrested an Albanian from Kacanik, who entered a cafe carrying an explosive device. Elsewhere, in Lipanj, three Serbs, Jovana Miric and Ivan and Igor Trajkovic, were assaulted by a gang of Albanians just before midnight. According to local Serbs, they were ambushed outside Miric's house by a group of bat-wielding Albanians. The three Serbs were taken to hospital in Gracanica and the incident has been reported to the police.
