Tuesday – Hundreds of Serbs from the village of Caglavica in Kosovo are continuing to block roads leading to the capital Pristina, following the shooting of a teenage boy last night.

Local Serbs last night took to the streets of Caglavica and Gracanica in protest at the shooting. This morning, they continued to block roads around the two villages, not far from the capital.
Eye-witnesses say the shots were fired from a red Golf which came from the direction of Skopje and sped off towards Pristina.
Police say that eight shots were fired at Ilic from a pistol fitted with a silencer. Ivic was hit twice in the abdomen and once in the arm.
