PRISTINA, Kosovo - Kosovo considers Serbia's effort to launch a rail link between the two countries as a provocation and an aggressive violation of its sovereignty.
The Serbian government announced Friday it will launch a railway link between Belgrade and northern Mitrovica in Kosovo, where most of the country's ethnic Serb minority is located.
Kosovo media reported that Marko Djuric, head of the Serbian government office for Kosovo, announced that a train from Russia that was decorated with the Serb flag and names of Serb churches, monasteries and medieval towns would in a month drive in a test between Belgrade and Mitrovica, the first time since the 1998-99 war, for half the price of the bus ticket.
