    41 KFOR soldiers, including 11 Italians, were injured in the serious clashes between NATO troops and Serb demonstrators in Zvecan, in northern Kosovo.

    Of the 11 wounded Italians, three are serious but not life threatening: they would have suffered burns and fractures.

    ANSA learns it from informed sources.

    The KFOR had intervened today in Zvecan to disperse the Serb demonstrators who have been demonstrating this morning in front of the local Town Hall to protest against the inauguration of the new mayor of Albanian ethnicity. The military used stun grenades, while demonstrators threw stones, bottles and other objects at NATO troops.

    Zvecan is one of the four major municipalities in northern Kosovo with a Serb majority led by new mayors of Albanian ethnicity were elected on 23 April due to the electoral boycott of the Serbs. Similar protests are also underway in Zubin Potok and Leposavic.

    **Update**: NATO KFOR confirms explosives were used by Serbs, causing fractures and burns to KFOR soldiers.

  2. There are literally videos and images of protesters sitting down while KFOR are trying to break them up, which instigated the whole clash. Up to that point the protests were peaceful with kids, people singing and serbs bringing food and coffee to KFOR soldiers.

  3. According to Hungarian media reports 14 Hungarian KFOR soldiers have been injured in the clashes, some of them seriously.

    Edit: the number of injured, the article updated.

    Edit2: according to new reports more than 20 HUN soldiers have been injured, 7 of them seriously.

  4. What militias? Lol. Those are unarmed civilians… Fucking despicable reporting…

    EDIT: Holy shit at mindless comments here, you can literally see for yourself in multiple videos those are unarmed civilians and you still spread hate purely on ethnicity. Guess I can’t expect anything else on this sub.

  5. So peaceful [masked](https://twitter.com/Dardha93/status/1663172409216606211) serb “protestors” [burn multiple vehicles of journalists](https://twitter.com/Dardha93/status/1663182230384963585),

    and even
    [attack Italian and Hungarian Nato troops](https://twitter.com/admirim/status/1663204124681199620) multiple times going as far as throwing stun grenades so that [41 of them get injured](https://twitter.com/evropaelire/status/1663235168042115072).

    Yet serbs still think they are the victims here?

  6. ITT: Reditors with brainrot from all of the propaganda they are sipping are claiming that an election with a 3% voter turnout is legitimate kek

  7. Isn’t KFOR a UN force? I’m honestly asking because I don’t know. I thought it was a UN force because non-NATO nations was/is in KFOR.

    But if that’s the case, why would the article say “41 NATO soldiers”? Is it soldiers from NATO countries serving in the KFOR so it’s technically true but also misleading.

    Not trying to start shit. I honestly just want to be enlightened.

  8. TLDR – Serbs dont accept 3 percent of the population choosing the leaders of the region. The reason they (other 97 percent) boycotted was because of a previous agreement (2013) not being fulfilled. 3 percent deciding for everybody is not democracy, thats why there are thresholds

  9. If there is a more pitiful nation in Europe – lmao

    Any even the tiniest opportunity to start shit, destroy, steal, lie, pretend, shoot guns, throw bombs, start a fire… anything but honest and respectful effort toward making a better life.

    The n-th time that Serbian political leadership that should be in jail is… in war.

    Worked like a charm – lmao

  10. According to hungarian defense secretary, 20 hungarian soldiers were injured, 7 serious injured, they being airlifted to Hungary to receive medical aid.

    3 days after Orbán’s lapdog, Szijjartó gave a speech at Belgrade saying that hungarians and serbs are such good friends.

    How ironic…

  11. Let me guess, fascist serbs wanna cause another war again and then play victims of some western world conspiracy, thank god the 90s are long over

  12. Thats perfect and such an coincidence.

    Russia needs trouble elsewhere and Vucic plays the good old nationalism card after events inside Serbia got rather troublesome with people massivly uprising against him.

    Sadly a lot of good serbian people are dealt the tradional loosing card by such events powered by Russia and serbian politics.
