KOSOVSKA MITROVICA - Serbian inhabitants of the Dren village, north of the town of Kosovska Mitrovica in the Kosovo and Metohija municipality Leposavic, at around 5.30 a.m. Wednesday set up a blockade on the Kosovska Mitrovica-Raska road, due to the abduction of a Serbian Dren villager last week.
Villager Rados Virijevic, 25, was abducted on Oct. 23 before the very eyes of KFOR members in the souther, ethnic-Albanian part of Kosovo Mitrovica. Virijevic was on his way to work.
When the KFOR arrived, the Kosovska Mitrovica population spontaneously divided the town into the Serbian and ethnic-Albanian parts.
Kosovska Mitrovica ethnic Albanians have many times tried to force their way across the bridge on the Ibar and into the Serbian section of the town.
On Oct. 21, Serb Mirko Dancetovic of Lesposavic was also abducted in the southern section of Kosovska Mitrovica.
No statement has been released by the KFOR or UNMIK about the abductions of the two Serbs in the Leposavic municipality.
