Soren Jessen-Petersen, the UN envoy administering the Serbian province of Kosovo, condemned on Sunday the three bombings in Pristina, capital of Kosovo.
The explosions rocked international institutions in Pristina late Saturday, but claiming no casualties.
The UN envoy said: "Such actions, which are not supported by the people of Kosovo, will not be allowed to damage the democratic process in Kosovo."
"Violence will not divert us from our determination to support the institutions and the citizens of Kosovo in their strong efforts to build a peaceful, democratic and multi-ethnic Kosovo," said the envoy.
There has been no claim of responsibility for the blasts. A spokesman of the UN mission said it was too soon to say whether the explosions were part of a plot to attack international agencies in the Serbian province.
Kosovo is a province of Serbia. Under UN Security Council Resolution 1244, it has been a mandated region of the United Nations and NATO since June 1999, when the Kosovo war ended.
The explosions came as the United Nations has launched a review on the future of the province, including whether it should remain part of Serbia or become independent as its Albanian majority demands.
