According to reports, at the time of the attack, the children had been walking by the side of the road and carrying the Serbian Christmas tree when the attacker opened fire on them.
"They received gunshot wounds, one boy was shot in the hand and the other in the shoulder, and it was only by sheer luck that they were not injured or life-threatened. At this moment, they are being transported to the Clinical Hospital Center in Gracanica, where they will receive the best possible care. It is an obvious attempt to murder innocent Serbian children who were a disturbance only because they were carrying a Serbian Christmas tree and thus clearly showed that they are Serbs," the announcement states.
Although several eyewitnesses saw the registration number of the vehicle from which the shots were fired, the local police let the vehicle go.
"This kind of attack is a direct consequence of the anti-Serb policy of Albin Kurti, who through his behavior and actions encourages all those who want Serbian blood, even on Christmas. We demand an urgent and decisive reaction from the international community, and the Office for Kosovo and Metohija will provide the families and the injured with all the necessary help", the announcement states.
Comment: The situation in the region is already tense and it might not take much more for it to begin to deteriorate rapidly: Serbia considers deploying forces to Kosovo border, Vucic calls on citizens to preserve peace despite Pristina's 'policy of terror'
