Serbia will seek an urgent UN Security Council meeting to discuss the escalation of tensions with its former province of Kosovo, the country’s president said on Friday.

The move comes after Kosovo’s government decided to ban the use of the Serbian dinar and introduce the euro in areas where minority Serbs live.
