MITROVICA Kosovo (Reuters) - Serbs in the ethnically divided Kosovo town of Mitrovica removed a barricade on its main bridge on Wednesday in what seemed the latest hint of a tentative thaw with their Albanian neighbours, only to block it again with concrete pots and earth.

The outcome may well further antagonise Kosovo's government, which is impatient to rein in a northern pocket populated by Serbs who reject the young country's 2008 secession from Serbia.
