Police, protesters injured in Kosovo clash over electricity cuts

Twenty-six people, including 10 police officers, were injured when a protest by ethnic Serbs in Kosovo against the cutoff of electricity to their villages turned violent.

The incident happened on May 10 after about 300 protesters blocked the main road from eastern Kosovo to Serbia. Local and international news agencies quoted officials in eastern Kosovo as saying that the protesters threw stones, bottles and Molotov cocktails at police who were attempting to remove the blockade
