TL;DR Summary

Tensions between Serbia and Kosovo have escalated after violent scenes in the town of Zvecan, where dozens of people were injured, including about 30 members of Nato's KFOR peacekeeping force. Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vucic, blamed Kosovo's prime minister, Albin Kurti, for the disturbances, while Kurti claimed the protesters were "a bunch of extremists under the direction of official Belgrade".

The EU and US have spent much of the past year trying to push Belgrade and Pristina towards a normalisation agreement.
