The move was a punishment for Kosovo trying to forcibly install ethnic Albanian mayors in three Serb-majority towns. The mayors won office in elections that were boycotted by the Serbs, who have never accepted Kosovo’s independence from Serbia, which was formally declared in 2008.

“We have asked [Kosovar Prime Minister Albin] Kurti to take steps toward reducing tensions in the north. He has not responded to these requests and we are analyzing what our other actions will be,” Hovenier said.

NATO troops got involved in the stand-off on Monday and moved to disperse Serb protesters. The ensuing violence injured 52 Serb protesters and 30 members of NATO’s Kosovo Force (KFOR) mission. In response, NATO is sending 700 more troops to Kosovo.
