Kosovo police have continued their multi-day operation involving searches in villages across Ibarski Kolašin, with current activities focused on locations in Oklace and Dren. Veton Eljšani, deputy commander of the Kosovo Police for the North region, confirmed the ongoing searches.

During the searches conducted on this day, police discovered a Kalashnikov rifle in Dren. Two individuals are currently being questioned in connection with these actions, but Eljšani indicated they would be processed through regular legal procedures, with no immediate plans for detention.

The current searches are a continuation of operations that have been underway for several days in various locations within Ibarski Kolašin. Eljšani confirmed the specific focus on Oklace and a site in Dren for the day's activities. The discovery of the Kalashnikov in Dren has drawn particular attention due to previous allegations by a local resident, Nenad Rašković, who claimed police mistreated him after searching his home.

Eljšani declined to comment on media reports linking the Kalashnikov's discovery near Rašković's house, neither confirming nor denying the connection. The police have not yet released a comprehensive tally of the operation's results, stating that information will likely be shared upon its conclusion. Previous searches in villages like Prevlaka, Jabuka, Crepulja, and Brnjak have been conducted under the suspicion of illegal weapons possession.

We are not talking about that.
