"The escalation of tension in northern Kosovo poses a threat to security of the whole region," spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry Andrei Nesterenko said at a press briefing in Moscow.
"The unilateral proclamation of Kosovo's independence showed that the Kosovo settlement process deadlocked, and a solution to the deadlock can be found not abetting with Pristina, but observing the international law," Nesterenko said.
Eulex police on Wednesday fired tear gas and used shock bombs against Kosovo Serbs who are protesting against the reconstruction of Albanian houses in the neighbourhood of Brdjani, in northern, Serb-populated part of Kosovska Mitrovica.
Protesting Serbs say they have not been consulted over the process of reconstruction and slam Eulex and Kfor for failing to allow for the return of over 220,000 Serbs and other non-Albanian, expelled since 1999 by Kosovo Albanians.
