In the early hours between Tuesday and Wednesday, Kosovo police conducted raids in the village of Radosevikë, Zubin Potok, as part of a routine patrol. Officers inspected a vacant house, where they discovered an AK-47 assault rifle, two magazines (one loaded with 27 rounds), two hunting bullets, and additional military equipment.
Following the initial seizure, authorities confirmed the property owner’s identity and discovered he also owned a second house in Zubin Potok. Acting on the prosecutor’s orders, police raided the second property, where they again found an AK-47 and four magazines containing a total of 120 rounds. The suspect has been interviewed and is now in police custody.
Background on the Weapon
The AK-47 is a Russian-made automatic rifle and was a standard weapon of the Yugoslav army prior to the country’s dissolution. It was widely used by Serbian security forces, military units, and police during the Kosovo conflict, as well as in Bosnia and Croatia.
This operation highlights ongoing efforts by Kosovo authorities to combat illegal arms possession and strengthen security in northern municipalities, particularly in areas with a historical prevalence of weapons.
