Kosovo police officer injured in attack on patrol - report

Earlier this week, Kosovo's police said it is increasing its presence in the north of the country where ethnic Serbs have been protesting with demands for the establishment of a Community of Serb Municipalities, as agreed by the governments of Kosovo and Serbia in 2013.

The Kosovo police officer was slightly injured but considerable damage was caused to the police car, news agency RTK Live reported.

Tensions have been running high in the northern part of Kosovo after a new directive for vehicle owners to replace Serbian licence plates with Kosovar ones came into force on November 1.

Kosovo unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008.
