PRISTINA (Reuters) - Hundreds of ethnic Albanians protesting against normalising ties with neighbouring Serbia clashed with riot police in front of the government and parliament buildings in Kosovo's capital on Thursday, a Reuters witness said.

The police, in full riot gear, used pepper spray to disperse the crowd, but also tried to push it back by force to clear the entrances to the buildings. Several protesters were handcuffed and arrested.
