According to Svecla, they were attacked with hand grenades and Kalashnikov. He called these attacks, like <x0 terrorist”.

Kosovo Police Border Officers have today faced the fourth attack they have had within three days north of the country. All attacks have occurred in a certain geographic space, Zubin Potok until Brnjak. None of these terrorist attacks were aimed at intimidation, but the elimination of police officials was proven today, when their cars were attacked with hand grenades and KAK47-type Kalashnikov, Svecla later wrote on Facebook.

Prime Minister Albin Kurti reacted to the attack on the police. He said attacks on police for three consecutive days come from the Serbian territory.

For three straight days (13 - 15 April), Kosovo police officers have been attacked at the border crossing with Serbia. Yesterday and this morning, the hail of bullets and a hand grenade has been thrown toward the police. Our sources have identified that yesterday's attacks come from Serbia”, Kurti wrote.

Kurti has called on Serbia to condemn attacks on Kosovo police.

This will neither hinder us nor stop us from our fight to protect the rule of law against organised crime and corruption in the entire territory of our Republic. I call on Serbia to condemn and distance from violent terrorist attacks on our police, some of whom were Kosovo Serbs”, he wrote.

Even the Kosovo presidency has reacted after continuing attacks on the Kosovo Police in the country's north and efforts to prevent police operation in that part of the country, saying the attacks were carried out by criminal structures.

From the presidency, they say such attacks are intended to destabilise the security and political situation in the country, but stress that such efforts will fail.

The last “Days -- Serbia and its criminal structures -- have carried out several attacks against the Kosovo Police in the north. These actions, coupled with de-informative efforts, aim to destabilise the security and political situation in Kosovo. They will fail, the rule of law will prevail”, the presidency's response said.
