An explosive device was thrown at the kiosk in North Mitrovica, which was used by the Kosovo police as a checkpoint, in the early morning hours of June 29.
The deputy director of the Kosovo police for the northern region, Veton Eljšani, told Radio Free Europe that there were no injuries, that is, that at the time of the attack, no policeman was inside this improvised checkpoint.
"It is believed that the explosion was caused by pyrotechnics combined with flammable material," said Eljšani.
He added that material damage was caused, that is, that the kiosk used by the police was damaged.
A day earlier, the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Aljbin Kurti, accompanied by the Minister of Internal Affairs of Kosovo, Dželjal Svečlja, visited the policemen in this municipality.
Srpska lista, the largest party of Kosovo Serbs, saw that visit as a "provocation".
In the north of Kosovo, there have been increased tensions since the end of May due to the decision of the Kosovo authorities to take over the municipal buildings in Zvečan, Leposavic and Zubin Potok, so that the Albanian mayors have access to their offices. The Serbs, who make up the majority in those municipalities, strongly opposed it because they boycotted the April elections and do not accept the results.
While Pristina and Belgrade are accusing each other, the international community is constantly calling for de-escalation.
A group of American senators asked the President of the United States, Joe Biden, to "exert diplomatic pressure" in order to end the crisis in the north of Kosovo.
