Longstanding tensions between authorities and Kosovo's Serb minority have been rising in recent weeks.Prime Minister Albin Kurti described the protesters as "criminal gangs" and asked the Nato-led peacekeeping Kosovo Force to remove the barricades. Kosovo police said they came under fire in different locations close to a lake bordering Serbia late on Saturday, with officers returning fire in self-defence.It comes after Kosovo deployed police to majority-Serb areas - which do not recognise the Kosovo government in the capital Pristina - at the end of last week. This heightened tensions further, after they were already raised for months over a row about vehicle license plates.
Kosovo declared independence in 2008, following a bloody year-long war a decade earlier. Serbia does not recognise it as a sovereign state, however does accept the governing authority under an agreement brokered in 2013 to normalise relations.
