Serbia on Monday placed its security troops on the border with Kosovo on “the full state of combat readiness,' ignoring NATO's calls for calming down of tensions between the two wartime Balkan foes.
The peacekeepers, known as KFOR, said the incident happened near one of their patrols, involving unknown people. A statement said no one was injured and “we are working to establish all the facts.”
“It is important for all involved to avoid any rhetoric or actions that can cause tensions and escalate the situation,” KFOR said in a statement. “We expect all actors to refrain from provocative shows of force and to seek the best solution to ensure the safety and security of all communities.”Fears of violence have soared since the start of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Kurti’s office said that “the common conclusion from this meeting is that freedom of movement should be restored and that there should be no barricades on any road.”
