This was in Prizren when KFOR was moving in to secure the area and protect it from further ethnic violence. From the Wiki article
> At dusk, a yellow Zastava Skala civilian-type vehicle was seen approaching a German armored carrier outside Hotel Theranda, in the center of the city. The passenger produced an AK-47 and opened fire at the carrier and at bystanders, who fled for safety. The German soldiers in the armored vehicle, supported by a Leopard 2 tank that mounted a roadblock, shot back. Three paratroopers fired at the car with their Heckler & Koch G36 assault rifles, joined by a non-commissioned officer with his 9mm pistol and by turret-mounted 7.62mm machine guns. The combined gunfire killed the driver and wounded the shooter. A German soldier in the armored carrier was injured in the arm, becoming the first casualty of the overall peacekeeping operation. The Germans fired a total of 180 rifle rounds and 40 machine-gun rounds. The German firepower was so intense that it pushed the car backward. The passenger eventually died of his wounds. The shooting lasted 20 minutes. The Germans said that the two individuals in the car, both Serbs, were carrying grenades and semi-automatic weapons
Was the only incident, with the Yugoslav army, which retreated from Kosovo (with minor violations of the agreement).
I would guess the Serbs were either drunk or suicidal, otherwise I really don’t get the logic of firing at a military convoy that heavily out guns you.

Anybody else hearing „Heiko Hitler“ at 1:29?
This looks like Polish Fiat 125p
Crazy that one dude survived for a bit after the germans made swiss cheese out of that car.
