Kosovo: Serbs rally in North Mitrovica against police raids

Ethnic Serbs protest in Kosovo after police arrested several people in one of the Balkans’ most tense areas.

Serbia has blamed the NATO and the European Union for a surge in tensions in Kosovo after a police raid sparked anger among minority ethnic Serbs.

Tuesday’s operation in a Serb-dominated area of Kosovo brought an angry reaction in Belgrade, where the government put troops on full alert.

Meanwhile, hundreds of ethnic Serbs held a protest in North Mitrovica.
