Serbia 'retakes' Kosovo rail line
Serbia has retaken control of a stretch of railway line in northern Kosovo, a senior Serb official has said.
Branislav Ristivojevic, who heads Serbia's state-run railway company, said Belgrade had restored control over the 50km (30-mile) Lesak-Zvecan line.
Earlier, Serb rail workers stopped a train on the line, saying they would not work for Kosovo's rail firms.
Belgrade and Kosovo Serbs refuse to recognise Kosovo's declaration of independence last month.
Last week, some 150 Kosovo Serb police officers were suspended for refusing to take orders from the ethnic Albanian authorities in Kosovo's capital, Pristina.

Remember when Croatia and Bosnia left? I wouldn't be surprised. |
