The car was torched at a parking lot in front of Jakšić’s apartment building.
The incident took place a little after 3:00 CET but nobody was injured.

Serbian government’s Office for Kosovo has strongly condemned the incident.

“We have repeated who knows how many times that unpunished violence creates new violence and we therefore demand that the perpetrator of the incident is quickly found and punished,” the Office for Kosovo said in a release.

Jakšić told Tanjug that his Hyundai was set on fire early this morning and that it was completely destroyed despite the firemen’s efforts to put out the fire quickly.

He believes that the motive is his political activity and the fact that he advocates that Kosovo remains a part of Serbia. The DSS official also believes that perpetrators are ethnic Albanians from southern Kosovska Mitrovica.

Kosovo police came to the scene and an investigation is currently underway.

A Kosovo police vehicle was also set on fire last night in the northern part of the town.
