Associated Press October 7, 2010 NATO deploys 100 troops in Kosovo's north; move called provocation by Serbian official LEPOSAVIC, Kosovo: NATO has deployed over 100 troops in Kosovo's north in a response to violent incidents that have plagued the ethnically tense region, Serbia's top official for Kosovo Goran Bogdanovic said late Wednesday, shortly after the force was deployed, that the deployment was "a psychological propaganda war against the Serbs in the north of Kosovo." NATO troops backed by a local police force manned checkpoints on the main road linking Kosovo and Serbia to search passengers and car trunks for weapons. Armored vehicles rattled on the sides as floodlights lit the potholed asphalt road. The increase in security comes after a series of violent incidents between the majority ethnic Albanians and minority Serbs. Kosovo and Serbia are smarting over EU-backed talks aimed at resolving Kosovo's contested status.
