The gunmen arrived within the village within the early hours of the morning, the police mentioned, and blockaded a bridge with unmarked vehicles, earlier than taking pictures a minimum of two officers, considered one of whom died of his wounds.

Fehlinger, who describes himself on social media as “Founder [of the] European Committee for NATO Enlargement for Kosovo, Ukraine, Armenia,  Austria, [and] Moldova” accused Belgrade and Moscow of orchestrating the incident.

“[The] Serb conflict towards Kosovo has began in Banjska,” he wrote on X (previously Twitter). “As I warned all yr, Russia and Serbia need [a] Southern Entrance – now it’s there!”

Vucic and Serb leaders in Kosovo have warned for months that Kurti intends to drive the remaining Serbs out of the province, and native Serbs usually arrange barricades to stop raids by Kurti’s forces.

Vucic issued the same warning on Sunday, declaring that Kurti “desires to pull us right into a conflict with NATO.” The NATO-occupied province “won’t ever get its independence from Serbia, regardless of how exhausting overseas parts attempt,” Vucic added.
