Stars & Stripes<\/a> reports that a Lithuanian policeman was killed and two others were injured in Kosovo yesterday in a roadside ambush;<\/p>\n

Troops with NATO\u2019s Kosovo Force came under attack several times in 2011 and 2012 as they tried to remove barriers erected by ethnic Serbs to isolate the north from the rest of the country. An agreement between leaders of the two nations earlier this year suggested relations were smoothing, although extremists are still active on both sides.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From the New York Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The shooting came as Kosovo and Serbia have been trying to put in place a power-sharing accord that the two countries signed in April. The agreement, under which Serbia agreed to recognize Pristina\u2019s authority over the police and the courts in the north in return for greater autonomy for Kosovo\u2019s northern Serbs, has been greeted with deep ambivalence and in some cases outright hostility by some of the north\u2019s 50,000 Serbs.<\/p>\n

While the agreement stops short of Serbs recognizing Kosovo\u2019s independence, which Belgrade vehemently opposes, it has been lauded by the European Union, which brokered it, as a breakthrough that could help overcome ethnic divisions and cement peace in the region. Some Serbs, however, have vowed to resist the accord, boycott municipal elections planned for early November and leave Kosovo. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, well, obviously, someone isn’t happy. The NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the ambush was “unacceptable”, so that should stop them in their tracks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
