Riots in Kosovo after arrest warrant for MP

Описание: (18 Nov 2015) Angry protesters in Kosovo's capital were dispersed by tear gas on Wednesday, after demonstrating against arrest warrants for four opposition politicians.
Albin Kurti, a leader of the opposition Self-Determination Movement, on Tuesday used pepper spray on ministers, forcing lawmakers to evacuate the main hall.
Kosovo Special Police announced their intentions to arrest Kurti and three other opposition figures.
Kurti gathered with fellow opposition leaders outside the government building in the capital Pristina on Wednesday before the clashes started.
Over the past two months, Kosovo's opposition has sought to disrupt parliament and force the government to renounce a deal with Serbia giving more powers to ethnic-Serb communities and one with Montenegro on border demarcation.
Kosovo in 2008 declared independence from Serbia, but that is not recognized by Belgrade.
The two sides are holding European Union-led talks to overcome their differences.
