24 September 2023 at 12:39 The Prime Minister: Fighting is going on in northern Kosovo Fighting is going on between armed men and police forces in northern Kosovo. – Attacks against the police are ongoing, Kurti said at a press conference shortly before 1 p.m., according to the AFP news agency. He says that around 30 armed men are surrounded by the police. The incident takes place in the very north of Kosovo, not far from the border with Serbia. – There are at least 30 people, among them military, who are surrounded by our police forces, and whom I invite to surrender, Kurti continued. It is only hours since one policeman was killed and another wounded in an armed attack on a patrol in northern Kosovo early Sunday morning, according to Kosovo authorities. Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti then condemned the attack and called it an act of terrorism. The relationship between Serbia and Kosovo has been very tense after the government in the latter country chose in May to appoint ethnic Albanian mayors in four municipalities with a Serbian majority.
