Nash's Quagmire

Mitrovica, in northern Kosovo, remains divided along ethnic lines--with Serbs in the north and Albanians in the south.

Geopolitical analysts say it is one of the least stable regions in the Balkans.

Just last week, a crowd of Serbs attacked peacekeepers while they cleared Serb forces from an ethnically mixed section of the city.

The peacekeepers dispersed the crowds with tear gas, injuring four people and damaging two police vehicles owned by the U.N. Interim Administration in Kosovo (UNMIK).
