Facing mounting pressure from the Europeans, the presidents of Serbia and Kosovo met in Moldova to discuss ways of lowering tensions on Thursday. Reuters reported that following her meeting with Vucic, Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani accused him of"whining and complaining and ... not telling the truth."
Serbs attempted to block the ethnic Albanian mayors from entering their offices, and Kosovar police responded by, which escalated tensions. More violence ensued when Serbs clashed with Kosovo police and NATO peacekeeping troops. Serbia, for its part, responded by sending troops to the border with Kosovo and put its armed forces on high alert.
Eleven Italian soldiers and 19 Hungarian troops sustained multiple injuries,"including fractures and burns from improvised explosive incendiary devices," and three Hungarian soldiers were injured from firearms, according to a Kosovo Force statement.
