A police patrol was attacked on Thursday in Kosovo's volatile north, injuring an officer, two hours after police troops were sent in the region in an attempt to replace hundreds of Serb cops who resigned last month over a car plate dispute.
Kosovo announced it was sending more police officers to its northern region on Thursday, a move that may fuel more tensions between Belgrade and Pristina as the Serb majority in the north consider themselves part of Serbia.
Police said it would continue to increase its presence over the next few days to maintain order. Only few troops were in the area since hundreds of police officers from the overall Serb minority quit their jobs last month. Normalisation of relations with Kosovo is a key condition for Serbia to gain membership in the European Union.
Although Pristina agreed to postpone enforcement for several months, Serb officials and police have not returned to their positions.
