The United Nations plans a staged return of ethnic Albanians to three high rise blocks in Kosovska Mitrovica north, prompting Serb protests. UN police will provide security while Serbs displaced by ethnic violence fret possible evictions and renewed clashes. Local leaders urge careful planning as NATO forces extend talks and consider a cross river bridge to ease access.
