Serbian president Boris Tadic has sent a letter of protest to the United Nations and European Union asking them to protect the Serb population in Kosovo from what he said were deliberate attacks by "the Kosovo government and Albanian extremists".

Two Kosovo Serbs were attacked by a group of Albanians in Mitrovica this weekend, local police say, the latest skirmish in the tense divided town. The previous week a knife attack on a Serbian teenager caused a massive Serb protest that damaged dozens of Albanian shops and cars.

In the letter, sent to the UN Security Council member-states, UN Secretary General Ban-Ki Moon, and to current EU president Czech Republic, Tadic said that the "real intention of the Kosovo government and Albanian extremists is to use violence in order to provoke conflicts with Serbs in order to stop the implementation of the six-point agreement reached between Serbia and the United Nations, which was confirmed by the Security Council."
