Two Injured in South Serbia Bomb ExplosionBelgrade | 14 July 2009 |
PresevoTwo people were injured in a bomb explosion in the town of Presevo in
south Serbia at around 01.00 CET Tuesday morning.
A woman and a child were wounded and hospitalized in the town of Vranje, and
are now in stable condition, officials said.
The explosion occurred in a residential building in the Zeleznicka Stanica
district of Presevo, which is populated predominately by Serbs.
It is speculated that the bomb was placed in the basement of the building,
which houses both Serbs and ethnic Albanians. Police have found no suspects
so far.
An investigator in Vranje, Stanisa Mihajlovic, told media that Serbian
police were working to establish whether any explosives remain in the
building.
Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dacic and director of police Milorad
Veljovic will visit Zeleznicka Stanica district later today.
It was the second such incident in south Serbia in less than a week.
Last Thursday, two members of the Serbian police were injured in a grenade
attack in the village of Lucani near Bujanovac, in south Serbia.
Presevo and Bujanovac municipalities were the pivotal points from whence the
[Albanian] Liberation Army of Presevo, Medvedja and Bujanovac,
OVPMB, launched it attack against Serbian security forces in 2000.
Serbian President Boris Tadic said the ethnically mixed municipalities of
Presevo, Bujanovac and Medvedja had to take some responsibility for the
situation in the south of the country, along with the international
organizations monitoring the security situation in the area.
