Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti wants to de-escalate violence in the north of his country. Militant Serbs attacked NATO peacekeepers with incendiary devices and stones in the village of Zvecan on Monday.

In by-elections, which the Serbs boycotted at the behest of the government in Belgrade, politicians of Albanian origin had prevailed. French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called for new elections to be organised in the four municipalities in northern Kosovo.
