UN: tension remains in northern Kosovo

UN special representative for Kosovo, Lamberto Zannier, reported to the UN Security Council that the situation in northern Kosovo remains fragile. Tensions remain between Serbs and Kosovo Albanians.

"It is clear that UNMIK must continue to shepherd the reconstruction process and monitor the situation closely to ensure that all communities respect existing arrangements to preserve stability and that effective communication is maintained at all times," Zannier said.

UNMIK administered Kosovo from 1999 until 2008, when Kosovo declared independence.
