Dragan Stamenkovic, spokesperson of the Vranje police administration, said on Monday morning that competent bodies informed KFOR about the attack, which took place on Sunday evening.

In less than half a year, this was the third attack on this checkpoint.

The first one took place on May 17, 2012 when, as said by Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dacic, ethnic Albanian terrorists came from the village of Stubline, and opened fire some 100-150 meters from the checkpoint.

The second attack took place on June 28, leaving policeman Branislav Mirkovic from Bujanovac slightly injured.

Three days later, EULEX police accused five persons of terrorism and participation in a terrorist group. Two persons were put in custody, while the other three were deprived of passports.

The village of Dobrosin with about 150 households and around 740 inhabitants is located 16 kilometers west from Bujanovac on the administrative line.

In this village, the so-called Liberation Army of Presevo, Medvedja and Bujanovac was formed early in January 2000.

Radio and Television of Serbia reported on Sunday evening that a checkpoint near Podujevo, north-east Kosovo, was also attacked.
