Special Unit took it to hospital yesterday, Serbian media publish new view of Russian citizens

During yesterday's Kosovo Police action in the north, Russian national Michael Krasneoschenko was also arrested

The Justice Ministry announced that his arrest was made because he had placed his car as a barricade so that police would not pass through the northern part of the country.

The release of Russian citizens employed in UNMIK during yesterday had been requested by UNMIK, as well as by Russia's Foreign Ministry.

After several hours he was released from arrest, however, reportedly sustained several injuries and was being treated at the Mitrovica hospital.

During today, new images have been published by Serbian media during his stay at the hospital.

However, he has refused to talk about his role in the action yesterday, saying he cannot do so without UNMIK's permission.
