PRISTINA -- Tuesday – A bus carrying Serbs from Orahovac and Velika Hoca to Kosovska Mitrovica was attacked this morning.
A group of Albanians surrounded the bas and threw bricks and other large rocks at the bus, which was carrying 55 passengers including children. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident. The bus is a United Nations operated vehicle and was being escorted by the Kosovo Police Service. The vehicle itself suffered numerous damages.
After UNMIK officials arrived at the seen, the bus took off and continued on its way to the northern section of Kosovska Mitrovica.
According to Violeta Krstic, who is in charge of the bus trips to Kosovska Mitrovica, a similar attack happened in Maliseva last Friday, only with less attackers present.
The bus service runs twice a week and is the only mode of transportation available for Serbs in Orahovac and Velika Hoca who are trying to get to the Serbian part of Kosovska Mitrovica.

Of course, the cowardly thugs attacking the Serbs would be rewarded with their own nation if certain scum had their way.
