Pilgrims and parishioners barricaded themselves in the building. The Prime Minister of unrecognized Kosovo, Kurti, declares about 30 allegedly armed Serbs who continue to hold the monastery of Banska. It is known about one dead and two wounded by the Kosovo police, the diocese of the Orthodox Church also reports. International peacekeepers KFOR and EULEX are being pulled into place. It all started at night. An armed group attacked the Kosovo police near the same village of Banska — Kosovo Prime Minister Kurti immediately blamed Belgrade. The Kosovo special forces blocked the border, as well as the roads leading to the place of the night shootout. The blockade, as reported by Serbian media, also affected the ambulance rushing to the place. The chairman of the Serbian parliament, Orlich, asked not to start throwing words and at least wait for the results of the investigation. Источник: Readovka World
