Serb Sasa Mitrovic and his son Nemanja from Babin Most, near the town of Obilic in central part of Kosovo and Metohija, were injured in a stabbing attack in the night between Sept. 12 and 13, the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija has said in a statement. 

Nemanja Mitrovic (19) was stabbed in the shoulder and the neck area, while his father Sasa was cut in the arms and stomach while trying to defend his son, according to the statement.

The two Serbs were transported to the Clinical Hospital Center in Pristina and later during the night they were moved to the Clinical Hospital Center in Kosovska Mitrovica, where Nemanja underwent complete diagnostics and was placed in the surgery department. 

“According to eyewitnesses, while walking on the street, Nemanja’s path was blocked by the attackers, the Sabani family which had earlier attacked Mitrovic’s younger, minor son. In this settlement, Avdulah Sabani is known for harassing Serbs and banditry, but has gone unpunished for years,” the statement said.

 The state public broadcaster RTS has reported on Sept. 13 that the person who wounded the two Serbs has been arrested.
