     NATO-led troops have begun to dismantle barricades erected by ethnic Serbs at 2 controversial border crossings in Kosovo.
     The blockades of logs, mud and rocks were first erected in July...in a trade dispute between Serbia and Kosovo.
     Troops were forced to use tear gas to disperse about 100 Serbs...who still refuse to accept Kosovan authority.
     Some troops...and civilians were treated for minor injuries.
