EULEX Kosovo vehicle attacked in Pristina

A vehicle belonging to the European mission EULEX (rule of law) was attacked on Tuesday in the streets of Pristina, not far from the headquarters. The occupant of the vehicle who was on board was not affected, said a press release from Eulex. An investigation is underway into this "incident" which is the first of its kind for several months. What seems certain is that the "damage was not caused by a bullet"says one at the HQ of Eulex which plays down"which is not an attack but just an incident". The function of the ongoing investigation is to know "whether it's intentional or not". Without speculation, we could relate them to the various arrests and judgments that have taken place in recent weeks and in which the European teams have participated.
