The European Union (EU) has strongly condemned an armed incident near Strpce and is urging the authorities to launch an investigation, Peter Stano, a spokesman for the Union said.
“The EU strongly condemns the shooting of a child and a young man in Kosovo, on Jan. 6. It is important that the authorities will fully investigate this despicable crime and that justice is exerted,” Stano said on Twitter, adding that he wished the victims a full and speedy recovery.
In the Strpce region, in the village of Drajkovce, a young man aged 21 and an 11-years-old boy, both Serbs, were shot at. After receiving immediate medical attention at the Family Medical Center in Strpce, they were transported to a hospital in Gracanica for further treatment. Their lives are not in danger.
The attack was condemned by the authorities in Kosovo, several embassies in Kosovo and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Mission to Kosovo. The attack was criticized in Serbia as well.
