Nasilje je izbilo u ponedjeljak, nakon što su policija UNMIK-a i trupe KFOR-a pokušale povratiti kontrolu nad zgradom suda u Mitrovici, koju je u petak zauzela grupa srpskih demonstranata.
Violence broke out Monday after UNMIK police and KFOR troops moved to regain control over the Mitrovica courthouse, which had been taken over Friday by a group of Serb demonstrators.
