VIDEO: Clashes in Kosovo as Police Deploy Tear Gas and Water Cannons

Clashes are occurring in northern Kosovo between Serbs and police. The Serbs are protesting the results of the local elections, which they boycotted, resulting in victory for the Albanians.

The police have deployed tear gas and water cannons. Earlier reports indicated that protesters had set police vehicles on fire.

It is important to note that Serbs living in the partially recognized republic, which has had their rights undermined by local authorities, have taken to the streets and confronted police, who used tear gas in response.

Serbia's Minister of Defense has confirmed that the military has been put on high combat readiness and is moving towards Kosovo.
