NATO called on all parties to refrain from actions that further inflame tensions and to engage in dialogue.

"KFOR will take all necessary measures to maintain a safe and secure environment and will continue to act impartially, in accordance with its mandate under UN Security Council Resolution 1244 of 1999," the statement said.
