PRISTINA, Kosovo — Kosovo’s government took control of the newly independent nation Sunday as the country’s constitution went into force after nine years of U.N. administration.
The charter — a milestone that comes four months after leaders declared independence from Serbia — gives the government in Pristina sole decision-making authority.
But it threatens to worsen ethnic tensions between Kosovo’s majority Albanians and the Serb minority. Security in the divided northern town of Mitrovica was high a day after a gunman attacked a police station, wounding one officer.
