Serbs set fire to two United Nations border posts in the north of Kosovo, forcing NATO troops to intervene and fanning fears that the Serbian-dominated north could boil over into violence and lead to the partition of the newborn country.
Several hundred Serbian men, some of them wearing ski masks, had used plastic explosives and bulldozers to attack the two border checkpoints. The police said that they were stopping buses in Kosovo and that weapons had been confiscated. “This seems to have been an organized operation,” said Capt. Veton Elshani, a spokesman for the Kosovo police.
Sporadic bomb blasts echoed Tuesday in northern Kosovo.
