Clashes with police began in Zvecan, 45 kilometers from Pristina, in the morning. In the afternoon, KFOR intervened to support the Kosovar police and had to disperse the Serbs with tear gas and stun grenades.
They responded by throwing stones and objects and burning vehicles, injuring at least 25 soldiers. The violence was the latest incident at a time when tensions soared last week, with Serbia putting the country's military on high alert and sending more troops to the border with Kosovo.
