Serbia orders army to Kosovo border after protest clashes

Serbian President has placed the country's army on full combat alert and ordered its units to move closer to the border with Kosovo after protests in the majority Serb town of Zvecan.
The protests followed the local elections which were widely boycotted by 50,000 Serbs in four north Kosovo municipalities, including Zvecan, in protest of their demands for more autonomy not being met.
The Western-backed plan agreed by the Kosovo and Serbian governments in March aimed to defuse tensions by granting local Serbs more autonomy, with the government in Pristina retaining ultimate authority.
