An explosive device was thrown at the director of KoSSev, Nevenka Medić, at her private car, which is used for editorial purposes.

The case is being processed by the Kosovo Police.

The car has visible damage in three places, most likely caused by flammable liquid.  Medic reported the case to the Kosovo Police, who conducted an investigation and performed forensics, at the same time taking her statement.

KoSSev reported the incident to the competent professional associations, and journalist organisations from Kosovo and Serbia reacted.

This is not the first case of attack on KoSSev´s director. In 2015, Nevenka Medić,in the same street and in approximately the same place, had her car completely set on fire, which was also privately owned, and was also used for editorial purposes. The epilogue of the investigation and the perpetrators have remained unprocessed to this day.
