German army soldiers serving in the NATO peacekeeping mission in Kosovo guard a bridge near the town of Zvecan, Kosovo, on June 1, 2012. NATO-led peacekeepers have confronted stone-throwing Serbs seeking to prevent the international troops from removing their roadblocks in the tense north of Kosovo.
Reuters reports — At least three Kosovo Serbs and a NATO soldier were wounded in a gunfight on Friday as peacekeepers tried to dismantle Serb roadblocks blocking traffic, a Reuters witness said. NATO troops fired tear gas and small arms and some protesters fired back with handguns.
