Kosovo’s prime minister welcomed the decision, saying Serbia’s attempting to destabilise its former province.

One police officer and three attackers were killed after gunmen stormed the village of Banjska in northern Kosovo.

The shooting of a police officer leads to a siege at a monastery where three attackers are killed.

Kosovo declared independence in 2008 but Serbia still formally deems Kosovo to be part of its territory.

Kosovo police say one officer and three of about 30 attackers killed in shootouts around the village of Banjska.

EU’s top diplomat Josep Borrell blames Kosovo for failing to implement a deal with Serbia on normalising relations.

Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia in 2008, which Romania has not recognised.

If the West is still serious about Kosovo’s sovereignty and the security of the region, it ought to act like it.

Emotions boiled over in parliament during debate over measures to defuse tensions in restive Serb enclaves in the north.

EU’s Josep Borrell had summoned Kosovo’s Kurti and Serbia’s Vucic for urgent talks in Brussels amid soaring tensions.
