Serb police entered Lucane with two armored vehicles and automatic weapons, retaking the village without a shot fired from ethnic Albanian rebels who had attacked the area.

Rebels and security forces ended up within about 500 yards of each other on nearby hills, with NATO talks ongoing and no immediate comment from peacekeepers.
