Apparently another group of Serbs has entered Kosovo:

Ex-servicemen cross into Kosovo21 February 2008 | 16:39 | Source: Beta MERDARE -- Several hundred protesting war veterans have around 13:30 CET crossed the administrative line to Kosovo.

The scene at Merdare today (Beta)

They are demonstrating the province's ethnic Albanians' unilateral declaration of independence.

A Kosovo police, KPS, cordon and barbed wire met the protesters soon after they crossed the checkpoint, but the veterans removed the obstacles from the road and continued deeper into the province.

Wearing former Yugoslav Army (VJ) uniforms, they threw stones at KPS members, and set tires on fire close to their outpost.

After this, KFOR soldiers, wearing full riot gear, appeared and formed a new cordon, while KPS withdrew.

This was followed by the arrival of a new KFOR reinforcement, with more soldiers and an APC.

The ex-servicemen are currently in the territory of the province, with a new barbed wire obstacle, this time set by KFOR, preventing them from advancing.

They are shouting slogans including, "Kosovo is ours", "Kosovo is the heart of Serbia", and, "We won't give Kosovo away".

No injuries were reported so far.
