Serbs block Kosovo roads

Nato-led peacekeepers have tried to remove roadblocks in northern Kosovo, but have been prevented by Serbs guarding the blockade.

The troops in full riot gear tried overnight to push through three of the 16 roadblocks formed from vehicles, rocks, mud and logs. But they were met by hundreds of Serbs who sat on the roads to stop the advance. No force was used and no injuries were reported during the tense stand-off.
