Kosovo: Kosovo policeman dies after botched border raid at checkpoints of Jarinje and Brnjak

A Kosovo policeman seriously injured during a border clash on Monday night has died.

The 31-year-old officer was shot in the head when a police convoy came under fire in a Serb dominated area.

The violence occurred during a botched bid by Kosovo’s ethnic Albanian government to take control of two border posts in an ethnic Serb area.

The move was a show of strength aimed at ending rampant smuggling and extend government rule after Pristina banned all Serb products and Serbia responded in kind.
