UN Troops, Serbs Clash After Blackout

By ELENA BECATOROS, Associated Press Writer

ZVECAN, Yugoslavia (AP) - U.N. peacekeepers clashed with Serbs hurling
rocks and bottles early Sunday after a factory fire in this northern
town destroyed an electrical transformer relaying power to the area.
     A group of about 50 Serbs gathered outside the Trepca factory
complex in Zvecan, hurling rocks, bottles and paving stones at Danish,
French and Pakistani peacekeepers. There was no immediate report of
injuries.
     Peacekeepers in full riot gear, supported by four armored personnel
carriers, dispersed the crowd.
     Fire crews from nearby Kosovska Mitrovica and the provincial
capital Pristina extinguished the blaze, which started late Saturday,
said Barry Lynch, spokesman for the U.N.-run police force in the
northern sector of Kosovska Mitrovica.
     The blaze knocked out power to Zvecan and several surrounding
villages, said local Serb leader Oliver Ivanovic. Bystanders said one
man was arrested in connection with the fire.
     Kosovo has been run by a U.N.-led administration and NATO (news -
web sites)-led peacekeepers since the end of NATO airstrikes last year,
aimed at ending the Yugoslav government's crackdown on ethnic Albanians.
