Serbian Political Leader In Northern Kosovo Shot Dead
RFE/RL's Balkan Service

MITROVICA, Kosovo -- Oliver Ivanovic, an ethnic Serb political leader in northern Kosovo, has been shot dead in front of his office in the Serb-dominated northern part of the divided city of Mitrovica.

Ivanovic's lawyer, Nebojsa Vlajic, told RFE/RL that Ivanovic was shot at 8:15 a.m. on January 16, and that doctors at a hospital in Mitrovica confirmed his death at 9:30 a.m.

Kosovo's government denounced the killing as an attack on the rule of law. Serbian delegates walked out of EU-facilitated talks with Kosovar authorities in Brussels, calling it an attempt to sow "chaos" in Serbia.

This was a driveby shooting, they found the car, it was all burnt out as if the culprits set it on fire.

They also have close circuit tv video; so hopefully, we will find out something. This guy was suppose to be a "moderate";  I don't think Serbs did this. I'll just put it that way, but we will see.
