Decan/Decani

"A state of emergency has been declared on the entire territory of the municipality of Decan," said the text of an official decision made by the mayor of Decan/Decani, Bashkim Ramosaj, on Tuesday.

Ramosaj said he made the decision because more than 880 people are suspected to have fallen ill as a result of drinking contaminated water in the municipality over the past two days.

Kosovo police were investigating on Monday after the four armed suspects were detained near the monastery near the town of Decan/Decani in western Kosovo on Saturday night.

Police said they were following the suspects' vehicle for some time and after searching it, they found an AK assault rifle, a pistol and some ammunition.
