Serb President Boris Tadic on Wednesday urged Kosovo Serbs to refrain from violence, hours after ethnic Serbs stormed and set ablaze a border crossing in the Serb-dominated Northern Kosovo.
“The hooligans who are sparking violence are not defending either the people or the Serb state,” Tadic said. “The people must refrain from violence.”
Ethnic Serb extremists attacked and set fire to a border crossing post in northern Kosovo after Kosovo’s government said it had regained control of that station and one other.
The same border post was burned down in 2008 by local Serbs after this former Serbia’s sothern province declared independence. — Reuters
