(ANSA-AFP) - BELGRADE, 19 LUG - Serbian police on Friday killed the alleged culprit who shot a law enforcement official dead this week near the border with Bosnia, the minister of interior announced. It comes more than a day after the incident that saw a policeman shot dead and another wounded during a routine vehicle inspection near the western Serbian city of Loznica. "Police officers eliminated the killer of the policeman near the vicinity of Loznica," said Interior Minister Ivica Dacic in a statement. The ministry did not provide additional information about the incident. Following the shooting, a manhunt was launched in the area involving special units, helicopters, and drones, while Bosnian authorities also joined the search on their side of the border. Serbian police also said a Kosovo passport and a German identification card were recovered from the scene of the shooting. The incident risks fanning simmering tensions with Serbia's arch-rival Kosovo, after Dacic suggested the shooting might have been a "terrorist attack" linked to Kosovo. Pristina's government was quick to dismiss the allegation, with Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti saying the shooting should not be "politicised". (ANSA-AFP).
