56 neo-Nazis arrested after Kosovo protest
Serbian police detained 56 neo-Nazis who defied a ban and demonstrated to demand that the contested province of Kosovo remain part of Serbia.
The arrests came after clashes broke out between the extremists and anti-fascists holding a counter-demonstration.
Kosovo, where ethnic Albanians make up 90% of the population, remains part of Serbia. But it has been run by the United Nations and North Atlantic Treaty Organization since 1999, when NATO airstrikes ended a Serbian military crackdown on ethnic Albanian separatists.
