CNN) -- Kosovo's ethnic Albanian prime minister and an international delegation have been assaulted by Serbs in the restive Kosovo town of Mitrovica, a U.N. spokesman tells CNN.
A few dozen Serbs threw stones and bricks at a restaurant where Bajram Rexhepi, who is ethnic Albanian, and representatives of the World Bank, were having lunch Saturday, said Gyorgy Kakuk, a spokesman for the Mitrovica region of U.N. Mission in Kosovo.
The prime minister came unannounced to the restaurant, in a predominantly Serbian part of the city, and sat with the delegates.
The prime minister's presence drew the attention of people outside the restaurant and is thought to have enraged the Serbs, who widely dislike him.
The officials slipped out of the restaurant as the pelting escalated.
Rexhepi escaped uninjured, and the international officials were attacked again by a larger mob, numbering around 150, at a north Mitrovica hospital yard.
