Turkey has deployed commandos to northern Kosovo to reinforce Nato’s peacekeeping mission in the country.
Kosovo is facing a crisis after Kosovo Serbs boycotted local elections in April, leading to ethnic Albanians taking control of local councils in the country’s north which used to be predominantly Serb.
When the elected Albanian representatives sought to enter the public buildings they were assaulted by Belgrade-backed militants sporting the “Z” insignia, Russia’s symbol of war in Ukraine.
The violence last weekend and on Monday resulted in police and Nato soldiers clashing with men clad in masks and wielding metal pipes. Nato condemned the attack, which left at least 30 soldiers wounded, as "totally unacceptable".
