Zubin Potok

At Tuesday's extraordinary meeting of the mayors of the municipalities of Kosovska Mitrovica, Leposavic, Zubin Potok and Zvecan, a declaration was signed by which the leaders of these municipalities withdrew from their functions and severed any communication with the authorities in Pristina.

According to reports, the protests are taking place on Friday in several Serb communities in Kosovo and Metohija.

The majority of citizens are at the protest in Rudare, where they carry the flags of Serbia and slogans inviting the international community to react. Some of them read, "EU, open your eyes," "Do not starve our children," "We don't want to go to ghettos."

Thousands of people from across Kosovo descended on central Pristina on Saturday for a protest organised by the country's main opposition force, Vetevendosje, against President Thaci and his push in recent months for "border corrections" between Kosovo and Serbia.

That's according to Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti, which adds that "the package" could be presented to Serbian officials on Wednesday, when US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Wess Mitchell will visit Pristina, and then Belgrade.

Kosovo Police have launched an investigation after the town of Zubin Potok, in Serb-run northern Kosovo, was plastered with pamphlets saying members of the local Serbian community members who worked for the Kosovo Security Forces, KSF, would be dealt with.

The pamphlet was signed by an unknown group called Severna Armija [Northern Army].

The prime minister of Kosovo has condemned a grenade attack on the homes of two Serbian members of the Kosovo Security Forces in the country's northern Mitrovica region.

Police said two explosions early on November 26 caused damage to two homes but no injuries in the town of Zubin Potok, about 55 kilometers north of Pristina. Three cars were also damaged.

An explosive device was thrown early on Monday into the yard of a house owned by a police officer in Zubin Potok, a town in northern Kosovo.

The Serbian Government's Office for Kosovo is promoting the tourism potential of Kosovo at this year's International Tourism Fair from February 23 to 26 in Belgrade - but only the potential of Serb-run areas in the former province that declared independence in 2008.
