Two Serbian young men detained in Klokot, the Office for Kosovo and Metohija provided a lawyer

The Office for Kosovo and Metohija announced that two Serbian young men, Dejan M. (27) and Aleksandar S. (31), were detained today in Klokot.

According to the announcement, they were detained because during the Christmas Eve celebration, several shots were fired in the air at the church gate in Klokot.

"Members of the Kosovo Police searched the houses of these two families today, and Dejan and Aleksandar were taken into custody. They are detained for 48 hours and the Office for Kosovo and Metohija will provide them with all free legal assistance and a lawyer," the statement said.

As it is added, the families were also visited by the President of the Provisional Authority of the Municipality of Vitina, who conveyed to them the support of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija.

"It is clear that with such arrests, connected with the celebration of Christmas, as the most joyous Orthodox holiday, Serbs are made aware that they have no right to their holidays, which is best demonstrated by the terrorist attack on Christmas Eve in Gotovusa, when an Albanian, a member of the so-called Kosovo Security Forces, shot the boy Stefan and the young man Milos, just because they were carrying a Serbian Christmas tree. This puts additional pressure on the Serbs and brings fear into the Serbian environment, with the clear aim of making them feel uneasy and expelling them from their homes," the Office for Kosovo and Metohija said.
