More Albanian Intimidation in Kosovo Province
Barn Torched on Serbian Farm in Kosovo Province
A barn on the farm of the Jovanovic family, in Drajcici village in Sredacka Zupa, Kosovo and Metohija province, with a population of only 34 Serbian residents remaining, has been torched, the retired village teacher Tomislav Tomic confirmed for Tanjug on Wednesday.
Fire was set to the barn, which is part of the Jovanovic homestead, at around 9 p.m. Tuesday, and it burned to the ground.
The firemen arrived with a delay and without the necessary equipment, Tomic said. The Jovanovic homestead comprises three houses, but none of the three Jovanovic brothers live there, he specified. They have fled to central Serbia, and they occasionally come to visit, Tomic said.
“The torching of the Jovanovic family barn is evident pressure on those of us who have remained in the village and a message that we are not wanted, which causes apprehension among Serbs,” Tomic said.
