Violent protests have been going on over the weekend in northern Kosovo. On Monday, 25 military police officers from NATO's KFOR peacekeeping force were injured by Molotov cocktails and stones thrown at them by protesters.
Lars-Gunnar Wigemark, head of the EU's police and customs operation in Kosovo, EULEX, says that they have had intelligence information that prepared them for the protests to turn violent. He says that the conflict has roots that go far back, but that there have also been several things in the short term that can explain why this is happening.
