Foreign Minister Lipavský condemns attacks on KFOR troops

Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský has condemned Monday's attack on members of the international KFOR mission in Kosovo. Both Pristina and Belgrade must take immediate steps to ease tensions, the Czech head of diplomacy wrote on Twitter on Tuesday.

Ethnic Serbs in northern Kosovo have been protesting for several days against newly elected Albanian mayors who took up their posts last week.

More than 30 NATO peacekeeping soldiers have been injured in clashes with Serb protesters while defending the town halls.
