Lipjan

BELGRADE - The Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija said on Friday a Serb man had been brutally beaten up and robbed in his home in the Staro Gracko village in the Lipljan municipality in Kosovo-Metohija on Thursday night.

At around midnight, three attackers who were speaking in Albanian tied the victim, Dejan Radic, and beat him up with a stick and robbed him.

MERDARE - Pristina authorities arrested a Serb man at the Merdare administrative crossing last night for alleged spreading of racial and religious hatred, the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija said in a statement.

PRISTINA - Pristina's special prosecution office has indicted a Serb man for an alleged war crime.

Dozens of locals gathered on Tuesday in the town of Gracanica, close to the capital Pristina in central Kosovo, in the latest of a series of demonstrations against last week's arrest of a Kosovo Serb man on war crime charges.

They held up banners and placards with slogans like "Freedom for all the arrested Serbs" and pledges of trust in Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.

The story went viral quickly and was republished by almost countless news portals, media and social media pages, so that now it is still impossible to determine which media initiated the report.
