Four NATO peacekeepers have been wounded in a fight at a Kosovo-Serbia border crossing after weeks of tensions in the region, Voice of America reported. Six Serbs were also hurt in Tuesday’s violence, which erupted when the international forces began taking down Serb barricades at the disputed border point.
Ethnic Serbs in northern Kosovo earlier in the month had blocked roads leading to the border to protest a decision to put Kosovo customs officials at the crossing points in Brnjak and Jarinje.
