A group of about 70 Serbs was travelling in two buses to Gazimestan, a religious and historic site close to the capital, Pristina, when police turned them back, according to media reports. The subsequent clashes reportedly left 50 people injured.
Farid Zarif, the Secretary-General's Special Representative, strongly condemned the "incidents and provocative acts," in a statement issued by the UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK).
Mr. Zarif called on the authorities to conduct a complete and thorough investigation into the incidents.
Established in 1999, UNMIK is mandated to help ensure conditions for a peaceful and normal life for all inhabitants of Kosovo and advance regional stability in the western Balkans.
