Unknown individuals damaged one gravestone plaque and broke flower pots at two other graves in the municipality of Obilic, Kosovo Police reported on Sunday.
The incident was reported on Friday, December 13, at around 2 p.m.
Police units responded to the scene, and the prosecution was notified. An investigation is ongoing, police said, without providing further details.
A case has been opened under the charge of “Desecration of graves or tombstones.”
Meanwhile, the Office for Kosovo and Metohija also reported on Saturday evening that two gravestones were desecrated and demolished at an Orthodox cemetery in the village of Plemetina, near Obilic.
Plemetina is a village with a predominantly Serb population.
According to the Office, the damage was discovered by relatives of the deceased. They added that the affected family would be compensated for the material damage.
The incident has caused concern among local residents, the Office said, describing it as an “anti-civilizational act” and a reflection of Pristina’s “anti-Serb politics.”
However, they stressed the importance of identifying those responsible and ensuring they are appropriately sanctioned.
