— NATO troops closed off roads between Serbia and northern Kosovo, and armed U.N. policemen guarded smoldering border checkpoints, bracing today for more protests by Serbs incensed by Kosovo's declaration of independence.

For three days, Kosovo's Serbs have shown their anger over Sunday's declaration by destroying U.N. and NATO property, setting off small bombs and staging noisy rallies.

In Jarnije and Brnjak, protesters used plastic explosives and bulldozers to wreck border checkpoint posts and tipped over metal sheds housing U.N. customs service offices. They vandalized and torched passport control booths and U.N. border patrol vehicles.
