GRACANICA, Serbia and Montenegro (*******) - A Serb teenager was shot dead in Kosovo on Saturday and police quickly arrested two Albanians suspected of trying to ignite another round of ethnic violence in the United Nations (news - web sites)-run province.
U.N. police spokesman Malcolm Ashby said 16-year-old Dimitrije Popovic died when gunmen fired from a car into a group of young Serbs at a hamburger kiosk at 2 a.m. Police in Pristina later stopped a suspect car and seized two Albanians with guns.
The killing, in the Serb enclave of Gracanica, was the first since mid-March when 19 people died and villages were torched in what NATO (news - web sites) said was an "orchestrated" bid to provoke the worst violence in Kosovo's five years under United Nations rule.
