Killed was an Eulex officer from Lithuanian and wounded another from the Czech Republic.
(Eulex is a deployment of European Union (EU) police and civilian resources - the killed and wounded were custom officers.)
The Eulex death is its first one since the mission began work in 2008 with the approval by the United Nations Security Council. Thus, apart from EU members, third parties Croatia, Turkey, Switzerland, Norway, Canada and the United States also take part.
According to Serbian sources, published by the Serbian daily Blic, a criminal gang of five persons was behind this attack, the motifs were to prevent local elections and keep up present criminal structures.
