Don't push us, warns Kurti

KOSOVO police and local media have reported explosions, shooting and road blocks overnight in the north of the country, where the population is mostly ethnic Serb, despite the postponement of municipal elections on December 18 to which the Serbs were opposed.

 

No injuries have been reported. The European Union rule of law mission, known as Eulex, also reported on Sunday that "a stun grenade was thrown at a Eulex reconnaissance patrol last night", causing no injuries or material damage.

Eulex, which has some 134 Polish, Italian and Lithuanian police officers deployed in the north, called on "those responsible to refrain from more provocative

actions" and urged the Kosovo institutions "to bring the perpetrators to justice" Unidentified masked men were seen on the Serb barricades that were blocking main roads leading to the border with Serbia, as Kosovo authorities closed two border crossings to all traffic and pedestrians.
