A supporter of opposition party Vetevendosje (Self-determination) hits at a police cordon during a protest in Pristina, Kosovo, on Oct. 22. Kosovo police fired teargas at the crowd attempting to storm the parliament in Pristina to protest against talks of Kosovo's Prime Minister Hashim Thaci with his Serbian counterpart Ivica Dacic last week in Brussels, Belgium.
