The plan would have obliged Serbs in the north of the country to apply for car license plates issued by Pristina institutions over tensions between police and local communities.

REUTERS/Hannibal HanschkeMITROVICA, Kosovo, July 31 - The Kosovo government postponed implementation of a decision that would oblige Serbs in the north of the country to apply for car license plates issued by Pristina institutions over tensions between police and local communities that set roadblocks.
Fourteen years after Kosovo declared independence from Serbia, some 50,000 Serbs living in the north use license plates and documents issued by Serbian authorities, refusing to recognize institutions under the capital, Pristina. Kosovo has been recognised as an independent state by more than 100 countries but not by Serbia or Russia.
Earlier on Sunday, police said there were shots fired "in the direction of police units but fortunately no one was wounded".
