BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Friday evening in Belgrade a difficult period was ahead for Serbia over the Kosovo-Metohija issue.

Serbia put its troops on the border with Kosovo on the highest state of alert Friday following clashes between ethnic Serbs and Kosovo police that left more than a dozen injured on both sides.

One day after new Albanian mayors took their oaths of office in Serb-majority municipalities in the north of Kosovo, violence erupted between local Serbs and the police as locals attempted to stop the new mayors from entering their municipal buildings.

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA - Alert sirens were sounded on Friday in all four Serb-majority municipalities in the north of Kosovo-Metohija - Zubin Potok, Kosovska Mitrovica, Zvecan and Leposavic - as residents gathered around municipal buildings in Zubin Potok, Zvecan and Leposavic to prevent Pristina's police from taking control of them.

More than a dozen members of the special police arrived in jeeps to the local self-government buildings in Leposavic, Zubin Potok and Zvečan.

BELGRADE - The head of the Serbian parliamentary committee on Kosovo-Metohija Milovan Drecun said on Thursday an initiative to open a Kosovska Mitrovica bridge on the Ibar River to traffic was a part of preparations to occupy the north of Kosovo.

In an appearance on Pink TV, Drecun said the occupation was being planned by Pristina's PM Albin Kurti.

The President of the Committee for Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun, assessed that the initiative to open the bridge on the Ibar is part of the preparations for occupying the north of Kosovo.
This is the plan of the Prime Minister of the temporary institutions of Pristina, Albin Kurti.

BELGRADE - Former North Mitrovica Mayor Milan Radojevic said on Monday the situation in the north of Kosovo-Metohija was extremely difficult and that this had especially been the case since local Serbs left Pristina's institutions last November, and noted that no one in the international community was concerned about when Pristina's PM Albin Kurti would stop a repression against the Serbs.
