Recent bloodshed in Serb-dominated northern Kosovo have put relations between Serbia and Kosovo at their lowest point in over a decade.
Kosovo called on Serbia on Monday to hand over all those involved in a shootout between Kosovar police and ethnic Serb gunmen that killed four people in the restive north of the country.
Members of Kosovo's Special Intervention Unit escort the apprehended Serb gunmen from the court in the capital city of Pristina on Sept. 26, 2023. "I personally made all the logistical preparations for the defense of our people from the occupiers…I didn’t inform anyone from the government structures of the Republic of Serbia about this, nor from the local political structures from the north of Kosovo," Radoicic said in the statement. In an interview on Monday, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic promised that Radoicic and all those responsible for the attack will be held accountable.is happening in Kosovo.
"That attack was well coordinated and planned," National Security Council Spokesperson John Kirby said on Friday. Kosovo’s government said in a statement that the Serbian armed forces have been moved in three different directions along the northern border with Serbia. The Serbian ambassador to the U.S. told Fox News Digital that his country is not moving on the northern border and is in fact drawing down its forces.
Analysts say the violence and heated rhetoric has created the most turbulent period in Serb-Kosovo relations since Kosovo declared independence in 2008, but other experts are skeptical about an impending war."While the latest round of escalations between Kosovo and Serbia are very concerning, an all-out war or Russia-like invasion remains very unlikely in this region," Helena Ivanov, associate fellow at the Henry Jackson Society, told Fox News Digital.
