NATO announced Tuesday the sending of new forces to Kosovo where Serb demonstrators are still gathered in front of a municipality in the north of the territory. Serbia, supported by its Russian and Chinese allies, has never recognized the independence proclaimed in 2008 by its former province.

At least 52 people were injured in the ranks of Serb protesters, three of them seriously, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said. The demonstrators are demanding the departure of Albanian mayors deemed "illegitimate" as well as that of the Kosovar police.
