The EU Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo, EULEX, condemns the recent grenade attacks in northern Kosovo and appeals for those who have information relating to them, to come forward.

EULEX and Kosovo Police (KP) are working closely together to investigate the attacks. There have been a number of such attacks in northern Kosovo during the past few weeks. Security measures and police patrolling by EULEX and KP have been stepped up. Investigations have been launched.

"These irresponsible and reckless attacks are a direct threat to the local community and public safety. They challenge the rule of law. It is important for those who have information relating to these attacks to come forward, so that those who are carrying them out can be prevented from further endangering members of the public," said the Head of EULEX Executive Police, Ole Madsen.

Those with information relating to the attack should ring EULEX's Task Force Mitrovica on: (Kosovo) 038 512 638
