The Serbian government Office for Kosovo on Wednesday strongly condemned another stoning of the Kosovska Mitrovica municipal assembly building, asking that the perpetrators be found and punished.

This is yet another in a series of attacks on the municipal building and the attackers have not been found, the Office said in a release.

The Office demands that the perpetrators be found and punished and their names released to the public, in order to stop the practice of only verbally condemning the incidents, says the release.

The latest stoning is obviously a consequence of Pristina's policy of raising tensions every time Pristina and Belgrade come a step closer to renewing their dialogue, according to the release.

The Office for Kosovo reiterated that Serbia was committed to peace and dialogue, and that all obstacles "lie on the side of those who persist in violence being accepted as the natural way of life in Kosovo."
