PRISTINA, Serbia-Montenegro, (AFX) - The capital of Serbia's UN-administered province of Kosovo was rocked by three explosions Saturday, one going off outside the UN mission, but no one was hurt, a Kosovo police officer said.

The two other explosions took place in front of the parliament building and the European agency for reconstruction and development in Pristina, as well as a restaurant which is close to the headquarters of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

'There were no victims and no injuries and the police and KFOR (the NATO multilateral force) have sealed off the area and begun an inquiry,' spokesman Refki Morina said.

He refused to speculate on the identity of the bombers or their motives.

A UN vehicle parked outside the UN mission was destroyed by a fire after the blast and two others were damaged.

Experts were evaluating the damage caused by the blasts, for which nobody has yet claimed responsibility.
