Masked gunmen open fire at police in south

A patrol from the Bujanovac station arrived at the scene shortly after it was alerted, when gunmen opened fire at officers.

MUP’s elite Gendarmerie, stationed at the nearby administrative boundary with Kosovo, also came under fire when they arrived.

Interior Minister Dragan Jočić told reporters this morning that a serious clash followed, that included fire from automatic rifles, hand grenades and RPGs, leaving one of the attackers dead. He was identified as Dalipi Enver, 22, from Končulj.

Jočić said the police believed the gunmen were members of the so called Končulj criminal group.

“It was lucky Gendarmerie arrived at the scene quickly, since Bujanovac police was unable to take on the attackers on its own, and the incident would likely have ended with fatalities on the MUP side,” he said.

“It is interesting to note that the criminals in question stopped and robbed Serbs and Albanians alike, threatening them in bad Serbian,” Jočić said.

A MUP statement carried by Tanjug earlier said that investigation was under way, and that police believed at least ten people participated in the armed attack against regular police and Gendarmerie officers last night.
