Hill: US sees no evidence linking Belgrade to attack on Iber-Lepenc

“We certainly don't see any evidence that would lead to Belgrade, but someone did that and a full investigation must be conducted”, Hill said in an interview for Serbia's public television, RTS.

In Kosovo's heavily inhabited Serb north, Zubin Potok, an explosion occurred on November 29th, which has damaged the Iber-Lepenc channel, which supplies water to several cities, as well as the Kosovo Energy Corporation for cooling thermal power plants.

Hill added that it is good that the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is supporting the investigation and that it speaks of lack of confidence and a “thrust towards mutual charges”.

Kosovo police have indicated that the attack has been carried out with up to 20kg of explosives.

Kosovo blamed Serbia for this attack, which official Belgrade rejected.

In the days following the attack, Kosovo authorities conducted several shares in the north, during which they confiscated weapons, ammunition and other military equipment. Out of ten accompanied to the police as suspected involvement in the attack, two were taken into custody for a month.

For Kosovo authorities this has been the most serious attack on the country's critical infrastructure since the 1998/99 war, and that damages amount to about 400,000 euros.

The attack was strongly condemned by the US and European Union states.
