KPS regional spokesman Zecir Keljmendi told Tanjug that the police arrested one woman, aged 59, and a 23-year-old man, both Albanians by nationality, who stoned the convoy taking Serbs for a visit to the local church and cemetery on Saturday.
The buses were hit by small rocks and nobody was injured in the incident, nor was any material damage caused, Keljmendi said and added that the police arrested two individuals whom the investigative judge decided should be released pending trial after questioning. The case is being treated as an offence of disturbing public order and peace, he added.
Some 120 displaced citizens of Djakovica were supposed to visit the nearby Donji Petrovac cemetery, but the visit was called off due to security reasons. After a tour of the town, the displaced Serbs visited the Visoki Decani Monastery.
