Most Serbs in volatile north Kosovo boycotted a local referendum on Sunday on whether to remove ethnic Albanian mayors in four municipalities whose appointment led to violence last year, the country's election commission said. Kosovo is predominantly ethnic Albanian but around 50,000 Serbs in the north reject Pristina's government and see Belgrade as their capital.
