Kosovo Police said they raided Serbian Red Cross centres on the authorisation of the courts on Wednesday night in Prizren, Pristina, Pejë/Pec, Gjilan/Gnjilane and Mitrovicë/Mitrovica.

The government of Kosovo is entertaining the possibility of allowing Kosovo Serb citizens living in northern municipalities to undergo an unusual census following the boycott of the regular process five years ago.
