Kosovo police on Tuesday suspended four officers who they accused in a statement of being involved in the wounding of a local Serb in the volatile north of the country and trying to hide the incident.
The man was shot in the shoulder late on Monday close to a check point controlled by special police forces. Doctors said his injury was not life threatening.
The police at first denied any involvement in a statement early on Tuesday, but in a separate statement later in the day said an investigation had been launched against four officers, including the one who is believed to have fired the shot.
