The Monday night gunfire has alarmed Serb villagers in the Ground Safety Zone near the Serbian-Kosovo administrative line, the Serbian news agency Tanjug reported. Sutanovac said Belgrade would work with NATO's <http://www.upi.com/Top_News/International/2010/01/05/Serbia-to-probe-Kosovo-gunfire-reports/UPI-25511262709706/> Kosovo Force "to try and find out what exactly happened and whether the incident was directed against the non-Albanian residents, or if it is something we can call hooliganism or something similar happening in Kosovo." Residents of the Serb village of Rasevac said they have organized patrols after strong spotlights coming from across the line were trained on their homes. "No one from the police or military came, so we have to take rifles ourselves and stand guard," a Rasevac resident told the Serbian news Web site B92, adding that some residents packed up all their necessities to flee their homes if needed. Fifteen mostly elderly Serbs live in the village, Tanjug said. http://www.upi.com/Top_News/International/2010/01/05/Serbia-to-probe-Kosovo-gunfire-reports/UPI-25511262709706/
