A day after a police officer’s car was lit on fire in Leposavic, another vehicle was torched in the same town last night – a Volkswagen Bora car with Kosovo license plates.
As the police of the region North confirmed for KoSSev, the police station in Leposavic was notified at midnight that a vehicle parked in Dositeja Obradovica Street was set on fire.
According to preliminary information, the car was intentionally set on fire.
Several Leposavic locals told the KoSSev portal the car in question – owned by an ethnic Serb with the initials N.C. – was allegedly registered yesterday to RKS plates.
This is the ninth car arson case in the north since the beginning of this year. In late August, a Fiat Punto burnt out in Zvecan, and in early June, an Audi A6 Allroad, owned by M.A., was set on fire. At the beginning of April, the car of a 22-year-old girl in North Mitrovica was set on fire. In the same month, in Zubin Potok, a car with foreign license plates owned by a woman from Kosovo was lit on fire. Also in Zubin Potok, the police received a report that on May 2nd, unknown persons set fire to two tires on a car parked in a private yard.
In the middle of September, a car was also set on fire in Leposavic. On September 19, the police announced that unknown persons had torched a car with Kosovan registration plates.
On the same day, the Kosovo Minister of the Interior, Xhelal Svecla, announced that a Serb, an employee of the Kosovo Police, was attacked by „illegal structures“, that is, that his car with RKS plates was torched – he, however, did not specify where the incident occurred.
The previous case of arson happened ten days ago, also in Leposavic, when unknown persons allegedly smashed the windows of a white Skoda vehicle with Belgrade license plates near the technical school in Leposavic. The same car was then torched.
The last case happened on Tuesday night – at 4 am, also in Leposavic, when a car owned by a member of the Kosovo Police was set on fire.
With the exception of a bombing case, as well as at least one car arson during the October 2021 unrests in the north, this is the 60th case of vehicle arson in Serb-populated areas since 2014. See the full list of car torchings HERE.
