'Fascist mobs' controlled by Serbia to blame for violence in Kosovo, PM says
The Guardian
|May 31, 2023
Kosovo's prime minister yesterday blamed violence in the north of the country on "fascist mobs" controlled by the government of neighbouring Serbia, and said he had rejected a US request to relocate recently installed mayors out of their official offices.
More than 30 Nato peacekeeping soldiers were injured in clashes on Monday, prompting the alliance to announce it would send another 700 troops to the country.
Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vučić, put the Serbian army on high combat alert.
The Nato peacekeeping mission, Kfor, said Italian and Hungarian peacekeepers were subjected to "unprovoked attacks and sustained trauma wounds with fractures and burns due to the explosion of incendiary devices".
"Yesterday was very severe, we were very lucky that no life was lost," the prime minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, told the Guardian by telephone from Pristina yesterday. He said "several" Nato peacekeepers were still in hospital.
The Italian prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, on Monday called the attacks "unacceptable and irresponsible".
