Pristina saw a second outbreak of protest violence on Wednesday, after a court ruled that Donika Kadaj Bujupi, an MP from the opposition Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, AAK, will be detained for 30 days ahead of her trial.

Protesters threw stones at government offices and police in Pristina on Wednesday during a demonstration sparked by the arrest of opposition MP Donika Kadaj Bujupi, who is accused of setting off tear gas in parliament.

Riot police responded by firing tear gas after the stone-throwing protesters broke windows and damaged the façade of the government building.

Kosovo police arrested Donika Kadaj-Bujupi, an MP from the opposition Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, AAK, for letting off tear gas in parliament.

"She was arrested after she left her home," Muharrem Nitaj, an AAK spokesperson, told BIRN.

Kadaj-Bujupi was arrested on Wednesday morning for setting off tear gas inside the chamber and sent to Pristina's District Court.
