This is the best summary I could come up with:
“Organized crime, which is politically, financially and logistically supported from Belgrade, is attacking our state,” Kurti wrote on his Facebook page.
At a press conference later on Sunday, Kurti said that “at least 30” professional gunmen were “surrounded by our police forces” in and around an Orthodox monastery near the village of Banjska.
According to police, the officers noticed that a bridge leading up to a local village was blocked by two trucks with no license plates.
The Balkan nation was once a part of Serbia, but the Serb forces were driven out in 1999 following an uprising by Albanian guerrilla fighters and the subsequent NATO bombing.
Meanwhile, the US ambassador in Pristina Jeff Hovenier decried the “orchestrated, violent attacks” on the police and called on perpetrators to “immediately cease” their actions.
Ethnic tensions have flared up multiple times in recent years, including protests sparked by a disputed election in May which left dozens of international peacekeepers injured.
