The man who was assaulted near Gracanica was identified as Ivica Zivic. He told police that four armed attackers stopped him on the Gracanica-Laplje Selo road on Sunday morning.
Zivic said his assailants first "harassed him for a while", to then physically assault him, and steal his car.
No one was injured in Zac, when stones were thrown on the tents now housing Serb returnees.
The Serbs found destroyed homes in their village, and also protesting ethnic Albanians, who claim that war criminals were among those who returned.
On Sunday, after yet another protest gathering, one of the Albanians threw a stone at the location where the tents were being put up.
The returnees said KFOR reported about the incident.
A smilar attack also happened the night before, with Kosovo police, KPS, informed about it.
