Kosovo Police Clash With Protesters At Mitrovica's Main Bridge

Kosovo police in Mitrovica have clashed with Kosovo Albanian protesters on the main bridge that links the two sides of the ethnically divided city. Protesters on June 22 threw rocks and burned cars at the bridge across the Ibar River while police fired tear gas to disperse the crowd. The violence came during what was meant to be a peaceful march against the latest move by Kosovo Serb authorities in the northern part of Mitrovica to block vehicular traffic across the bridge by placing concrete flower pots on the road.
