Albanian Officials Preparing Staged Terrorist Attacks in Kosovo Province North
According to the Serbian intelligence report, Priština-based Albanian secret service ŠIK is preparing a series of staged terrorist attacks in Bošnjačka Mahala settlement in Kosovska Mitrovica, aimed at generating sharp reaction from international institutions and thus insuring deployment of the Albanian special troops, consisting of former members of terrorist KLA.
Prepared scenario involves bombing attacks against ethnic Albanian families residing in this part of town, for which the Serbs will be blamed, like in the recent bomb attack on Albanian-owned restaurant in the same part of town, which served to stage an attack on Serbian firefighters, who responded the call to put out the fire.
Provisional president of Kosovo province Fatmir Sejdiu already announced that “special forces” designated to be deployed in Bošnjačka Mahala part of Mitrovica are being formed, and that this settlement “will in future be entrusted to the Kosovo Protection Corps” — a militant formation consisting entirely of hardened terrorists and war criminals, members of the KLA.
At the same time, spokesman for the Kosovo Albanian-run police Besim Hoti told Belgrade media that “Kosovo police in Mitrovica region is preparing the common police units’ plan in order to respond to the requests by the Bošnjačka Mahala residents to raise security level within the settlement”.

According to the reports, meeting of the “security structures” was held on Thursday in Albanian-populated southern part of Kosovska Mitrovica, where the further moves for Albanian takeover of Bošnjačka Mahala were decided.
Bajram Rexhepi, municipal president of the southern, Albanian part of Kosovska Mitrovica, briefly commented that “settlement residents are disturbed by the lack of security and they are requesting to be provided with the institutional safety”.
“Bošnjačka Mahala Albanians have requested stationing of the security forces in the buildings of Kosovo Ministry of Internal Affairs in that part of town,” Rexhepi said.
Kosovo Serbs Aware of the Planned Frame-Up
Milan Ivanović, leader of Kosovo and Metohija Serbs in the north of the province, reminded of the explosion in the unoccupied house of Albanian Etem Peci, assessing the series of provocations staged by Kosovo Albanians are pointing to a “Markale scenario” for Bošnjačka Mahala.
“All the latest incidents in Bošnjačka Mahala are perpetrated exclusively by the Albanians. Peci hasn’t been living in that house for the past 9 years and Mitrovica residents are well aware of this. The reason Albanians are stepping up attacks is to impose the fake independence in the north of the province, and because of the recent arrest of the KLA members in Preševo,” Ivanovic said, adding that “Albanians have a plan to stage Markale massacre in Bošnjačka Mahala, for which the Serbs would be automatically blamed.”
“We are well aware of that scenario, just as we were in the case of Račak setup, which was used as a pretext for NATO aggression against Serbia”, Ivanović said.
In addition to the plotting of Albanian officials, he charged two of the local Serbian politicians, Rada Trajković and Oliver Ivanović, of working directly for the British secret service and against the interests of Kosovo and Metohija Serbs.
