Moscow blames Kosovo’s prime minister Albin Kurti for fueling conflict against the Serbs.
A photo taken by drone shows a group of armed men walking along the wall of the Banjska monastery in Kosovo.
Russia does not recognise Kosovo, which has a majority ethnic Albanian population, as an independent country and traditionally supports Serbia, with which it has close religious and cultural ties. Kosovar police units retook the monastery late on Sunday after three attackers and one police officer were killed. They were securing the village in northern Kosovo on Monday.
