Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic visited the Banjska Monastery in the Kosovska Mitrovica region on Saturday, where he paid respected to assassinated Serb politician Oliver Ivanovic who was murdered on Thursday.
Vucic visited the monastery alongside Bishop Teodosije Sibalic, and used the occasion to reassure the locals of Kosovska Mitrovica following Ivanovic's murder.
"I came here to speak with our people about security; our people are upset about the murder of Oliver Ivanovic," Vucic said. "We will wait for results of the investigation and if they'll bring us the killers or not," he added.
Vucic called on the Serbian people to remain in their houses: "Serbs must stay in their houses in Kosovo and Metohija and we need to stay in our country's territory where we lived and where we, as a country, will fight for it in every way."
Ivanovic, 64, was shot at least five times by unknown assailants in a drive-by shooting, and died later in hospital. The shooters escaped and have not been caught.
The incident halted EU-mediated talks between Kosovar and Serb delegates that had been set to resume that day in Brussels. Serbia has called Ivanovic's murder "an attack on the entire nation."
