Kosovo Court Convicts Three Serbian Gunmen for Police Attack

A Kosovo court convicted three Serbian armed men for attacking police in northern Kosovo in 2023, killing one officer during the incident. The attack occurred in the disputed territory's northern region, where ethnic tensions remain high. Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008, but Belgrade refuses to recognize the breakaway territory and continues to consider it a Serbian province. The conviction highlights ongoing security challenges in Kosovo's Serb-majority northern areas, where clashes between local Serbs and Kosovo authorities periodically flare up.
