16 07 2007 Pristina_ The Kosovo Police Service has boosted its patrols in north-west Kosovo after an armed group in uniform fired shots at a police patrol on Saturday.
“We have increased the number of patrolling units in that area”, Veton Elshani, the police spokesman, told Balkan Insight, on Monday.
According to Elshani the police patrol came under fire as it investigated complaints made by local people in the village of Radishevo.
Villagers called the police and claimed that an armed and uniformed group was operating in the area. After the police patrol arrived at the suspected spot, they came across these armed people.
“The patrol returned the fire and asked for help,” Elshani said, adding that no one was wounded in the incident.
The Kosovo Police Service, backed by NATO-led international peacekeepers, KFOR, is investigating the area where the incident happened.
At the beginning of 2010 BIRN network published Digging Deeper - A Guide for Investigative Journalists in the Balkans, written in cooperation with Sheila Coronel, Director of the Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism and professor of professional practice at Columbia University, New York.
