Kosovo is observing a day of mourning for the Kosovar Albanian police officer killed by Serb gunmen dressed in combat uniforms who later took refuge at an Orthodox monastery on Sunday.
They then used an armored vehicle to break down the gates to the monastery in the village, where they remained in a stand-off with Kosovo police until evening.
Three of the attackers were killed and two injured. Another Kosovar police officer was injured in the confrontation near the monastery. Police seized vehicles used by the gunmen which contained an arsenal of firearms of different calibers, explosives, ammunition and logistics capable of equipping hundreds of persons, according to Kosovo Interior Minister Xhelal Svecla.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said the gunmen were local Kosovo Serbs “who no longer want to stand Kurti’s terror.”
