Perhaps you have missed the -binomial()- option of -xtmelogit-.

Thanks Joerg.
I did not explain well. 
the original outcome is individual binary (say, current smoking  yes or not).
but I do not have original data, only aggregated data. so the outcome is now the proportion of smoking students in the class. I think I should model this proportion with a logistic model (since the underlying distribution is binomial) using weights for the numerosity of the class. but then  I want to add the random intercept.

I am not sure if I understand the problem correctly and maybe I am
missing something, but if you do not have any individual level data
you can only look at the variability of schools across countries as,
for example, in:

xtmelogit binaryoutcome x1  x2  || country:, or
