KOSOVSKA MITROVICA, Serbia-Montenegro (CNN) -- Ethnic clashes which broke out throughout many areas of Kosovo have been described by U.N. and Serb officials as the worst wave of violence in the country since the end of the Kosovo war in 1999.

"The situation is very tense," said Bajram Rexhepi, Kosovo's prime minister, an Albanian, after Wednesday's violence.

"It is of high importance that every citizen calms down in order for this tense situation to calm down."

Slobodan Samardzic, chief adviser to Serbia's prime minister, told CNN that at least 10 people were killed -- three Serbs and seven Albanians.

More than 100 people were injured in the fights, which broke out in regions that total at least half the country, he said. It was the worst day of violence the country has seen since the war ended in 1999, he said.
