Kosovo special police deployed tear gas in Pristina to disperse a gathering supporting senior 'Liberation Army' leaders. The incident signals heightened domestic tensions over war-crimes proceedings, with potential for further unrest. The situation is developing and details on injuries or arrests remain unclear.
Protesters, identified as Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) veterans, have besieged the Kosovo Assembly in Pristina, clashing with police who deployed tear gas and water cannons.

The extent of injuries and arrests remains unclear.
