Marko Djuric, the Serbian ambassador to the United States, said his country is calling on NATO to "take charge" of policing in northern Kosovo.
Djuric said the NATO forces will help enforce past agreements between Kosovo and Serbia that, he believes, were violated by Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti when he created a "monoethnic police force." Around 30 masked Serbs clashed with Kosovar police patrol during the incident, but it is unclear which side initiated it.
"It's sad that we are seeing actually a mirror image of what used to happen to the Albanians during the early 90s in Kosovo. Now it's happening by Kurti — the Kosovo Albanian leader — against the Serbs," Djuric said.
