Following that incident, fighting broke out in Mitrovica amid news that three Albanian children had drowned after allegedly being forced by Serbs to jump into the Ibar River, in what was believed to be a revenge attack.
Poslije ovog izgreda izbili su sukobi u Mitrovici kada je došla vijest kako se troje albanske djece utopilo nakon što su ih navodno Srbi prisilili da skoče u rijeku Ibar, što je, kako se vjerovalo, bio osvetnički potez.
