EU
fires tear gas at Kosovo Serbs
April 25, 2009 8:30 AM
PRISTINA, Kosovo-The spokesman for the European Union rule of law mission
in Kosovo says the EU's special police units have fired tear gas to disperse
a crowd of angry Serbs in Kosovo's tense north.
Christophe Lamfalussy says tear gas was used in the ethnically divided
town on Mitrovica on Saturday to prevent some 100 Serbs from reaching a
construction site for ethnic Albanian returnees.
She says no one was injured in what was the first action by the EU mission.
NATO has deployed peacekeepers to increase security at the site, which
has been a scene of previous clashes between Serbs and Albanians.
Serbs condition the return of ethnic Albanians with their return in
the Albanian-run south.
