An Albanian local council candidate has been killed and a Serb candidate for mayor has been injured in separate attacks, as tensions remain high ahead of Sunday's local elections in Kosovo.

More than 5,000 police have been deployed to guard polling stations in Kosovo, which declared its independence from Serbia in 2008, but which Serbia does not recognise.

Kosovo police confirmed to Al Jazeera that Bekim Birinxhiku, a candidate for a council seat from the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) was killed in Skenderaj/Srbica, west of the Kosovo capital, Pristina, in an attack on Saturday.
