Srpska lista, Zvecan residents protest against mayor, want Pristina's police to withdraw

ZVECAN - Srpska lista and residents of Zvecan who gathered outside the local municipal building on Monday morning said they wanted a newly-elected ethnic Albanian mayor to stop coming into the building and Pristina's special police troops to withdraw immediately, a Tanjug reporter on the ground said.

The demands were presented by Srpska lista representatives in a discussion with officials of the so-called Kosovo Police and Kfor in Zvecan, a Serb-majority municipality in the north of Kosovo-Metohija.

Negotiations are still underway.

Previously, Kfor troops let a group of residents through to the municipal building, but then Pristina's police fired tear gas at them.

Both the so-called Kosovo Police and Kfor have deployed troops clad in full riot gear outside municipal buildings in Zvecan, Zubin Potok and Leposavic.
