Serbian Defense Minister Dragan Sutanovac has said that the attack on a police checkpoint near the southern Serbian town of Bujanovac was a terrorist act. The attackers, who fired a barrage of bullets at the police checkpoint facility in the village of Dobrosin around 2:00 CET on Thursday, are still unknown. Minister: Attack on police in south was terrorist act “In today's situation, with many young people jobless, single-handed, unorganized incidents can occur unexpectedly and may lead to somebody using their weapons,” Sutanovac Jagodina-based Palma Plus TV late Thursday. “What happened in Dobrosin was terrorism,” he said, noting that from a strategic point of view, the relations need to be settled in the best possible manner, by giving people a job, a chance, and the chance was the common prospect - Europe. When it comes to Serbia's relations with the international forces in Kosovo, the defense minister said they were solid. “The main problem is that the number of KFOR soldiers in Kosovo had been in a steady decline since 1999, despite Serbia's pleads against that,” he explained. “Unfortunately, we have a number of Serbs in the Kosovo and Metohija north supporting a radical policy, who have interests in attacking KFOR, telling them that they are not welcome and that they should go away,” said Sutanovac, adding that the extremists had been “negative towards KFOR all the while.” “But had KFOR not been there, the situation would be much more dire today,” he noted and added that before the Serbian elections, the international mission had deployed 750 of its soldiers all across Kosovo to prevent any incidents from taking place. Sutanovac added that the Serbian army was conducting its duties in the part of the country in the best possible way. Dragan Sutanovac Tanjug
