Nenad Rašković transferred to Belgrade after alleged police assault in Zubin Potok
Nenad Rašković, a resident of Dren in Zubin Potok, has been transferred to the Clinical Center of Serbia in Belgrade following an alleged brutal assault by Kosovo Police officers. Rašković claims that during a search of his home, officers entered his property, demanded weapons, and subsequently took him to a forest where he was tied to a tree and beaten with a hose.
Medical reports indicate that Rašković sustained serious injuries to his head, chest, and ribs, including a broken rib. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić visited Rašković in Belgrade, stating that the injuries were more severe than initially anticipated and characterizing the incident as an attack on the Serbian community in Kosovo.
The Kosovo Police Inspectorate has launched a preliminary investigation into the allegations of excessive force to verify the circumstances of the operation. Meanwhile, UNMIK has called for a thorough, independent, and timely investigation to ensure the protection of human rights and the rule of law in the region.
