     A brief clash of youths throwing rocks was reported in Mitrovica...a day after mixed teams of EU and Kosovan police and customs officers were deployed at two contested border crossings in Kosovo's Serb populated north.
    Pristina has also lifted a Serbian trade ban at all border crossings, except the disputed two. "The flow of goods has started,"
     Kosovo PM Hashim Thaci said the action was not aimed against any ethnic group. "I call on Belgrade to finally abandon its desperate attempts to destabilise the region and accept once and for all that Kosovo is independent, sovereign and undivided," he said.
