The exchange resulted in the deaths of a Kosovo Police officer and three attackers, and Kosovo has labeled this event as a terrorist attack.<\/p>\n<p>Zvecan, along with three other municipalities in the north, has a predominantly Serbian population.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo?fbid=773470971455848&amp;set=a.319445500191733\"><strong>Minister Sve\u00e7la<\/strong><\/a> asserted that \u201cthe state of Serbia is actively engaged in this terrorist attack with the aim of destabilizing the Republic of Kosovo\u201d. He also claimed that there is formal and structural evidence linking Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107\u2019s involvement in the Banjska attack, citing Milan Radoji\u010di\u0107, the vice president of the Serb List, and Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107\u2019s bodyguard and head of the BIA. Both Radoji\u010di\u0107 and Vu\u010di\u0107 have been placed on the US blacklist. Sve\u00e7la emphasized that these individuals are among the closest associates of the President of Serbia.<\/p>\n<p>A day prior, Minister Sve\u00e7la had alleged that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/100063788556625\/videos\/165918599893153\"><strong>Milan Radoji\u010di\u0107<\/strong><\/a>, Deputy Chairman of the Serb List, the largest political party representing Serbs in Kosovo, had organized and participated in the attacks. He even shared drone footage purporting to show Radoji\u010di\u0107 armed, alongside a group of armed men, all donning uniforms.<\/p>\n<p>In Serbia, Foreign Minister Ivica Da\u010di\u0107 remarked that it is evident the video footage does not correspond to the day of the attacks in northern Kosovo. Da\u010di\u0107 stated that he lacks information on whether Radoji\u010di\u0107 appears in the video material.<\/p>\n<p>The attacks against the Kosovo Police have drawn condemnation from the United States and the European Union, with calls for the responsible individuals to face justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kosovo\u2019s Interior Minister Xhelal Sve\u00e7la announced on Wednesday that one of the individuals killed in the Banjska incident on September 24 has been identified as Bojan Mijailovi\u0107, a security guard for Aleksandar Vulin, the head of Serbia\u2019s Security and Information Agency [BIA], during Vulin\u2019s visit to Kosovo in 2013.
