Belgrade, Serbia : NATO troops have sealed the northern borders of Kosovo after Serbs angry at its weekend declaration of independence ransacked two crossings.
Hundreds of protestors torched customs and police posts at Jarinje and Banja, manned by UN and Kosovo police.
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon told the Security Council emergency meeting on Monday that the the UN mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) will remain there.
IRNA reporter in Belgrade said that the NATO closing the borders is embarrassing for both Kosovo Serbs and Serbia’s government.
The move cuts Kosovo’s mainly Serb north off from Serbia.
NATO said it was shutting the crossings, initially for a 24-hour period.
