The group of local Serb youths, who previously blocked traffic in

Albanians, smashing the windows and forcibly dragging them out of
the car before beating them up, Kosovo Television said.
Among the victims were two children. Kosovo police intervened and
transferred them to a Pristina hospital.
The shots fired at Serb children in Gorazdevac came from the
direction of an Albanian village, Gorazdevac's Serb residents told
French news agency AFP. Nobody was hurt.
