What is the story?

In a time when once again incidents and accidents will be used as facts to justify whatever is simmering beneath the surface, the stabbing of a Serb youth at the divisive bridge in Mitrovica isn't good news.

Some 500 Serbs gathered to protest immediately at the scene with Oliver Ivanonic, a Serb leader from Mitrovica, painting a picture of an innocent Serb youth of only 19 years old being stabbed behind his back by two Albanians, who came from and run back to the Albanian side of town, while the victim was taking a walk with his girlfriend.

Today things are clearer as Albanian media report that the police have arrested two underage attackers (or self-defenders, as they claim to be) and have a surveillance video of the incident. Apparently there was a fight between the two parties when the Albanians were stopped, and it's not clear if it was ethnically motivated.

It is also clear that while two policemen watched the incident, one of them was luckily (excuse my morbidity) a Serb. They have both been suspended pending investigation.

B92 reports that the victim is recovering from the “extreme wounds.”
