Nato troops on guard in Kosovo town after clashes with Serb protesters

Situation remains ‘fragile but calm’ as protesters in Serb-majority Zvečan gather at town hall

Nato-led peacekeepers in full riot gear have secured a town hall in the Kosovo town of Zvečan as the situation remained tense a day after 30 soldiers and more than 50 ethnic Serbian protesters were injured in clashes.

Serbia’s president, Aleksandar Vučić, had previously put the army on the highest level of combat alert, and on Tuesday Moscow accused the west of “blaming” Serbs it said were “driven to despair”.
