NATO peacekeeping soldiers formed security cordons around three town halls in Kosovo on Monday as police clashed with Serb protesters, while Serbia's president put the army on the highest level of combat alert.
The tense situation developed after ethnic Albanian mayors took office in northern Kosovo's Serb majority area after elections the Serbs boycotted. In Zvecan, one of the towns, Kosovo police - staffed by ethnic Albanians after Serbs quit the force last year - sprayed pepper gas to repel a crowd of Serbs who broke through a security barricade and tried to force their way into the municipality building, witnesses said.
Serb protesters in Zvecan threw tear gas and stun grenades at NATO soldiers. Serbs also clashed with police in Zvecan and spray-painted NATO vehicles with the letter "Z", referring to a Russian sign used in war in Ukraine.
In Leposavic, close to the border with Serbia, U.S. peacekeeping troops in riot gear placed barbed wire around the town hall to protect it from hundreds of angry Serbs.

WWI started in the Balkans, just saying.
US Soldiers, protecting the KLA. Anyone willing to lose their son over that cause?
Depraved.
Kosovo is Serbia
And I see nothing but US Soldiers there. Why are they calling them “NATO Soldiers”?
Nothing but Americans....
Shades of 1994…?
Glad to see US troops keeping order at the border, wouldn’t want any illegal and undocumented Serbs or Kosovars crossing1!
The US IS NATO, always has been, always will be.
Looks like the USA is the bad guys yet again.
Is President Retard going to bomb Serbia and kill a family in retaliation?
“Peacekeeping troops”, an oxymoron if I’ve ever heard one.
If those Serbs get uppity, NATO can resume bombing Serb women and children with Cluster Bombs.
That'll show 'em.
Kosovo was stolen from the Serbs and given to the Albanians. The region is bound to explode into war again sometime.
Depends on who you ask, actually. Serbia, Russia, & China do not recognize the independence of Kosovo. The International Court of Justice, a U.N. creation, did rule in 2010 that Kosovo was a sovereign nation.
Just like parts of this country are being stolen.
I hope the Chinese embassy is on guard.
You think we’ve updated our maps since then?
NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg called on Kosovo to tone down tensions with Serbia on Sunday, two days after clashes between Kosovan police and protesters who are opposed to Albanian mayors taking office in ethnic Serbian areas.

KLA was/is a Muslim Terrorist Oreganization.

my notes on the time.
B J Clinton (Monica Lewinsky)
Wesley (aka Weasley) Clark
Medline Albright (I remember her smooching on Hashim Thaci)
Slobodan Miloševic (was not a monster)
Hashim Thaci (was far worse than portrayed by the media)
Carla del Ponte (she stepped out at the right moment and went south to cush job)
Roy Gutman (continued parcticing propaganda)
