Washington: The United States condemned violence against United Nations police and NATO troops in northern Kosovo and urged the Serb government to help ease tension in the area, the State Department said.
The violence in the town of Mitrovica was sparked by a UN police operation to retake a United Nations court seized three days earlier by protesting Serbs.
