Kosovo Serbs clashed with KFOR troops in the northern town of Zvecan on Monday afternoon, local media reported.

The crowd threw stones and bottles at the troops in riot gear who responded with flash bangs and tear gas. The media reported injuries on both sides. A reporter for the Serbian state TV (RTS) said shots were also heard.

Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani blamed the riots on what she said are illegal Serb structures turned into criminal gangs.


Local Serbs clashed with the Kosovo police on Friday when Albanian mayors, elected in local elections boycotted by the Serbs, tried to force their way into the municipal administration buildings in Zvecan, Leposavic and other majority Serb municipalities.

The KoSSev news portal said that at least two people were wounded in the clash.
