Serbia will investigate the events that led to armed clashes in the monastery in Banjska of Zvecan, an event for which Kosovo blames Belgrade, said the Serbian President, Aleksandar Vucic, denying any involvement of the Serbian Government in this event.

An armed group – which according to Kosovo were about 30 people – attacked the Kosovo Police in Banjska on September 24, killing Sergeant Afrim Bunjaku. The police then said that three attackers were also killed in the fight, writes REL.

Vucic told Reuters that Belgrade condemns the killing of the policeman and added that Serbia “will start proceedings before judicial bodies” to investigate the suspects.

“What crimes will be suspected, that belongs to the prosecutors”, he said.

Vucic repeated the claim that one of the killed attackers was shot in the head by the Kosovo Police “from a distance of one meter” after, according to him, he had surrendered, calling this an “execution”.

The deputy commander of the Kosovo Police for the North region, Veton Elshani, denied these claims of Vucic.

“Our officials would never do something like that. One of the arrested was given medical aid at the place where he was arrested, with the aim of saving his life, as he was injured,” he said.
