They have debated attacks by Serb protesters, sanctions by the United States and extraordinary elections in northern Mitrovica, Leposaviq, Zubin Potok and Zvecan.
Now six days, Kosovo Serbs are protesting in front of municipal objects in these municipalities. They are opposing the mayors of elected municipalities in the April 23rd elections and the presence of Kosovo policemen near these sites.
On Monday, protesters, some of them wearing masks, have exercised violence against KFOR members, Kosovo Police and journalists. They've thrown different glands towards peacekeepers, until they've damaged media cars.
As a result of violent protests, 30 KFOR soldiers have been wounded.
The United States has criticised Kosovo for escalating tensions with Serbia, until they have also cancelled the country's participation in a NATO military exercise “Defender 23”, as the government has refused to withdraw mayors and police forces from municipal buildings.
