Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic placed the country's army on full combat alert and ordered its units to move closer to the border with Kosovo on Friday, after protesters and police clashed in a majority Serb town in Kosovo.
"An urgent movement to the Kosovo border has been ordered," defence minister Milos Vucevic said in a live TV broadcast. "It is clear that the terror against the Serb community in Kosovo is happening," he said.
The election turnout was 3.47% and local Serbs said they would not work with the new mayors in the four municipalities - all from ethnic Albanian parties - because they do not represent them. The mayor in Zvecan was successfully escorted into his office, a Reuters reporter heard on a police radio. Ethnic Albanians form more than 90% of the population in Kosovo, with Serbs only the majority in the northern region.
