PRISTINA, Serbia, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Two people died overnight of injuries sustained in clashes in Kosovo on Saturday between police and ethnic Albanian protesters, U.N. police said.

They were among four people seriously wounded when United Nations and Kosovo police used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse hundreds of Albanians protesting a U.N. plan they say falls short of full independence for the Serbian province.

A protester holds banner reading "Russia" during a protest against a U.N. proposal for Kosovo's future in front of the National Assembly building in Belgrade, February 15, 2007. Serbia's newly elected parliament voted late Wednesday against a U.N. plan on the future of its breakaway province of Kosovo as a violation of the country's territorial integrity. U.N. envoy Martti Ahtisaari presented his plan to Belgrade and Pristina on February 2 after almost a year of fruitless negotiations between the two sides.
