The attacks were earlier condemned by representatives of the Serb List, the leading Kosovo Serb party backed by Belgrade, as well as Serbian officials, saying that they could not be linked to Serbia, as reported by Radio Slobodna Europa on its Twitter profile @RSE_Balkan.

This event follows days of unrest in the Balkans with a drone sighted entering Serbian airspace and reportedly getting shot down. The incident occurred over the Serbian Army barracks near the town of Raska, with the device blasted out of the sky on the orders of President Vučić.
