Days ago, Kosovo Police found and seized about 140 kilograms of explosives in an uninhabited house in the village of Jaglenica, in the Zubin Potok area.
The Deputy Director of Police for the northern region, Veton Elshani, told KosovaPress that the explosives were discovered during a routine patrol, after police units received information that there may be illegal materials at that location.
"The municipality is in Zubin Potok, near a village, Jaglenica, in the Zubin Potok area. Those 140 kilograms, which after measurement resulted in that amount, were located in an uninhabited house, which is abandoned and cannot be inhabited, so technically it is not in order. During a routine patrol, the police units received information that there may be something illegal in that place, they entered and found this large amount of explosives," said Elshani.
He stressed that it cannot currently be confirmed whether the case is connected to any other events, including the Banjska case, as investigations are still ongoing.
"We cannot say whether it is related to the Banjska case because these are investigations that assess such a thing, and this amount of explosives is verified. What we can say is that it is not something extraordinary for us to find weapons in abandoned or uninhabitable houses, because we have had cases when, after we found a certain case, a certain amount of weapons during the search of the place - not a raid, but during the search of the place - we have found in the chests of the earth, various weapons, grenades, magazines, that people have thrown from the apartments and removed from the houses so that if we enter, we do not encounter them. We do not enter a certain place without reason; the reason that we intervene in over 90% of cases is when we have based information that there is something illegal in that place," he said.
According to Elshani, the Kosovo Police does not intervene without reason in certain locations and in over 90 percent of cases acts on reliable information about illegal activities.
