NNA - The Kremlin on Wednesday called for the rights of ethnic Serbs living in Kosovo to be respected, following clashes this week over local election results that left more than 80 people injured. 

"We believe that all the lawful rights and interests of the Kosovo Serbs must be respected," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"We support Serbia and Serbs without question." 

Peskov also warned against "provocative actions that could harm the rights of Serbs" and said the Kremlin was "monitoring this worrying situation."-- AFP
