Senior Serb visits Kosovo

The Serbian deputy prime minister, Nebojsa Covic, is in Kosovo to visit victims of last Friday's bomb attack on a bus, in which ten Serbs were killed.

He's the highest ranking Serbian minister to visit the province since the end of the Kosovo conflict.

Mr Covic is also meeting local Serb leaders.

A BBC correspondent in Kosovo says Mr Covic has been trying to ease tensions after fighting in southern Serbia between ethnic Albanian separatists and the Serbian security forces.

Sporadic fighting has been continuing.

No one has yet admitted carrying out Friday's attack.
