(2 years ago)The nongovernmental organisation “International Crisis Group”, which has a mission to prevent conflicts in the world, was cited yesterday for a report concerning the Banjska attack on the NATO General Assembly's Defence and Security Commission. It was said in the ICG report that KFOR has negotiated the withdrawal of [...]
The report says it was NATO peacekeepers who have discovered unusual moves near Banjska, a village in the Zvecan municipality, and announced Kosovo police. After the police appearance on the scene, the attack was launched according to the report, and a policeman was killed and several others hurt.
The withdrawal of Serbian paramilitaries who were positioned in the Banjkska Monastery, according to the ICG, was done with KFOR negotiating.
“due to the fear of a bloodshed, KFOR negotiated the group's withdrawal into the surrounding forests, from which they melted. Kosovo believes as many as 200 other fighters were hiding at the time in the dense forest between Banjska and the Serbian border”, it says in this report.
On the other hand, the report speaks of weapons that were found near the Banjska Monastery, as well as investigations of the Kosovo side that the attackers were trained at the bases of the Serbian Army.
“Pristina published the fearful images, which seemed to show Milan Radojic, a prominent figure on the Kosovo Serb scene, leading the Banjska group. Radociq was deputy chairman of the Serbian political party List. A rich businesswoman with interests in Serbia and the region, he is widely seen as the non-formist “ruler of northern Kosovo”, in the words of an opposition Belgrade newspaper”, the report follows. /Express/
