Militant Serbs in Kosovo demanded the removal of Albanian mayors – which led to clashes with the KFOR protection force. Soldiers had been attacked with incendiary bombs, it said.
Several uniformed men from Italy and Hungary suffered broken bones and burns in attacks by militant Serbs. The clashes occurred on Monday afternoon, when Serb militants protested against the installation of new mayors in Zvecan and other municipalities in the Serb-populated north of Kosovo. The police had escorted the new mayor, an Albanian who wanted to take office.
