Serbian President Boris Tadic has arrived in Kosovo to observe Orthodox Easter. Tadic attended the evening Easter Liturgy in the medieval Serb Orthodox monastery of Visoki Decani, some 90 kilometres west of the Kosovo capital Pristina.
The UN mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) sees Tadic's visit as a private one and in line with the normal procedure, while Kosovo Albanian authorities interpreted it as a political provocation.
Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci said Tadic would make history as "the first president of a country to visit the independent and sovereign state of Kosovo."
